The Cardiac Conduction System: Evolution, Development, and Therapeutic Potential

The Cardiac Conduction System: Evolution, Development, and Therapeutic Potential, the latest release in the Hot Topics in Physiology series, provides the reader a thorough and comprehensive review of this intricate system. The book covers conventional topics: anatomy, electrophysiology, and key cellular characteristics, as well as emerging topics: patient specific computer modelling, induced pluripotent stem cells, and in vivo editing as state-of-the-art treatment strategy. Given the exhaustive coverage of topics, this book is go-to reference for the cardiac conduction system for years to come. This volume was published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). It is an ideal reference for academics and researchers in anatomy, physiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering and medical education at Undergrad, Masters, PhD, and Post-Doc levels.
