Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual is a concise book on cardiac electrophysiology from the Mayo Clinic Scientific Press, published by the Oxford University Press. Preface from the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Samuel J Asirvatham ends with a very interesting note: “If there is one regret in choosing a career in cardiac electrophysiology, it is that I can never again experience the unparalleled wonder...

Models of cardiac tissue electrophysiology are an important component of the Cardiac Physiome Project, which is an international effort to build biophysically based multi-scale mathematical models of the heart. Models of tissue electrophysiology can provide a bridge between electrophysiological cell models at smaller scales, and tissue mechanics, metabolism and blood flow at larger scales. This...

Electrocution is a death caused by an application of electrical current to the human body. Our present understanding electrocution—as induction ventricular fibrillation (VF)—followed nearly century-long path misunderstandings and speculation primarily focused on hypotheses asphyxia as well central nervous system trauma. It hard for us today appreciate past mystery unexpected sudden usually bere...
