This book provides a detailed review of etiopathogenesis and a state-of-the-art update on therapeutic options offering recommendations based on the guidelines and experience of experts while discussing procedures and tests with their indications, methodology, interpretation, and limitations.Key Features: Discusses new diagnostic tools, and therapeutic modalities including video monitoring. Provides up-to-date recommendations regarding the indications for and appropriate interpretation of non-invasive and invasive cardiac testing, for cardiologists and internists. Places particular emphasis on diagnosing and treating reflex and arrhythmic syncope.
