Cardiac Surgery and the Conduction System, 2nd Edition encapsulates the present knowledge of the conduction system as it applies to most cardiac operations that are performed today.In 11 sections, this edition gives the surgical view of the anatomy of the conduction system in various types of congenital abnormalities of the heart in a diagrammatic manner, and provides an in-depth view of this system. This is accomplished by the actual drawings of the course of the conduction system in the heart specimen itself, and by the histologic pictures of this system, especially the AV bundle, as it related to the defect and/or the specific anomaly.A review of the conduction system is provided to help orient the surgeon, followed by numerous descriptions and illustrations designed to enable the surgeon to visualize the various components of the conduction system in any operation as he looks through the surgical exposure. This ability should allow the surgeon to plan and execute the operation with little or no damage to this vital system.Enhanced by additional photographs elaborating the course of the conduction system, this volume gives essential information to help cardiac surgeons and cardiologists increase their knowledge of this important system.Bharati, Saroja is the author of 'Cardiac Surgery and the Conduction System - Saroja Bharati - Hardcover - REV' with ISBN 9780879935221 and ISBN 0879935227.
