SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book provides undergraduate and postgraduate students with an accessible and comprehensive overview of the fascinating area of cardiac electrophysiology. Based on lectures presented to intercalating BSc medical students, it has been designed with the undergraduate in mind, but offers enough scope to be worthwhile at the postgraduate level.
