Clinical Cases in Cardiac Electrophysiology: Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter: Vol. 2

​This is the second of a three-volume project aimed at providing unique case reports (20 cases per volume) of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias encountered in clinical practice. The book focuses on catheter ablation procedures of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation of atypical atrial flutters. The cases presented were performed using the CARTO electro-anatomical mapping system, providing a high number of images to better understand arrhythmia features. The cases are built around high-quality figures acquired during the patients’ hospitalization and relevant medical images, such as electrocardiograms, Holter ECGs, and MRI/CT scans. Short videoclips with activation maps of the atria or the ventricles during the studied arrhythmia complete the information provided. The chapters include questions and answers and key messages at the end of each case, making it an invaluable tool for cardiologists, clinical cardiac electrophysiologists, and interventional cardiac electrophysiologists in training, as well as for anyone interested in learning more about the subject.

Lucian Muresan graduated in 2007 from the Faculty of Medicine at UMF Cluj-Napoca, Romania and did his residency in cardiology at the Rehabiliation Hospital, Cardiology Dept., of the same town. During this period he completed an internship in Cardiac Electrophysiology at ＂Institut Lorrain du Coeur et des Vaisseaux Louis Mathieu＂ in Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy, France. Since 2014 he is a specialist in cardiology.

During 2016-2017 he worked as a cardiology specialist at the Hospital ＂Louis Pasteur＂ in Colmar, France and since May 2017 as an electrophysiologist at the Hospital ＂Emile Muller＂ in Mulhouse, France.

He holds competence in Interventional Rhythmology and Cardiac Pacing and got a European certification in Cardiac Electrophysiology from the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA).

Dr. Lucian Mureșan is the co-author of 4 cardiology books and has published more than 70 articles in specialized journals in the country and abroad.
