Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist introduces readers to the inherited arrhythmia syndromes that are a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. As the ECG is the cornerstone of identifying inherited arrhythmia syndromes, this cutting-edge book is a critical resource to guide cardiologists in using the technology for optimum diagnosis and treatment of their patients. It clearly delineates the differences between each syndrome to improve accuracy and health outcomes. Its easy portability belies a vast knowledge base for use by clinicians in the moment as well as by researchers in the laboratory.

This book illuminates diseases such as Short and Long QT Syndromes, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, and Early Repolarization syndrome. Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist will no doubt become a go-to reference for experienced clinicians seeking confirmation of their diagnoses, as well as those newer to the field seeking guidance in ECG interpretation.

Manlio Márquez-Murillo MD is a graduate of the National Autonomous University of Mexico School of Medicine, and specialized in Internal Medicine at the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition. He completed cardiology and electrophysiology fellowships at the Ignacio Chávez National Institute of Cardiology in Mexico City, and a training in therapeutic electrophysiology at Jean Rostand Hospital in Paris, France. He is currently an Associate Physician at the Ignacio Chávez National Institute of Cardiology where, in addition to his clinical duties, he carries out research and teaching work. He is a member of the Mexican National Academy of Medicine and the Mexican National System of Investigators (CONACyT).
