Metabolic aspects and channel kinetics in cellular hypoxia --;Calcium homeostasis, myocardial ischemia and arrhythmogenic impact --;Selected metabolic alterations in the ischemic heart and their contributions to arrhythmogenesis --;Arrhythmogenic effects of selective inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isoenzymes in pig myocardium --;Ischemia and early extracellular K+ accumulation in cardiac cells --;Characteristics of transport processes involved in ischemia and reperfusion --;Ionic and metabolic progenitors of reperfusion arrhythmias --;Electrophysiologic properties of cellular hypoxia and myocardial ischemia --;Anisotropy and anisotropic reentry in myocardial infarction --;Effects of the sympathetic nervous system on conduction and refractoriness in normal and ischemic myocardium --;Sympatho-adrenergic activation of the ischemic myocardium and its arrhythmogenic impact --;Factors determining the arrhythmogenic potency of myocardial ischemia and time-course of ischemia related arrhythmias --;Pathophysiology of acute ischemia: Potential targets for Antiarrhythmic drugs --;Acute and chronic myocardial ischemia in the arrhythmogenesis and aggravation of ventricular arrhythmias --;Risk stratification and prediction of sudden death following myocardial infarction --;Ventricular tachyarrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertensive heart disease --;Vascular mechanisms leading to myocardial ischemia and their relation to hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and arrhythmias --;Clinical evidence for the fatal interaction of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death --;Autonomic nervous system, myocardial ischemia, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias: Experimental findings --;Assessment of autonomic tonus and reflexes in patients after myocardial infarction --;Clinical aspects in the treatment of ischemia-related ventricular arrhythmias --;Coronary artery bypass graft surgery for the prevention of sudden cardiac death --;Myocardial ischemia, ventricular arrhythmias and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: Importance of stored electrograms --;Therapeutic consequences of newer studies addressing the problem of myocardial ischemia and ventricular arrhythmias.

This volume presents, in synoptic form, the latest and most comprehensive experimental and multi-faceted clinical findings on the potential arrythmogenic implications of acute myocardial ischemia. Together with a critical discussion of the related diagnostic and therapeutic consequences and outcomes, it presents a solid basis for efforts to reduce the occurance of sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary heart disease.
