Description
Springer Arrhythmogenic RV Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia Recent Advances 2007 Edition by Frank I. Marcus, Andrea Nava, Gaetano Thiene
This book covers all aspects (biological, pathological, genetic, clinical and therapeutical) of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia, a recent cardiomyopathy which represents a very high risk of sudden death in the young and in the athletes. This monograph gathers the results of a five-year research program on ARVC/D which allowed the discovery of 5 disease-causing genes, thus opening new avenues for the early identification of affected patients.
