The Cardiac Conduction System: Evolution, Development, and Therapeutic Potential, the latest release in the Hot Topics in Physiology series, provides the reader a thorough and comprehensive review of this intricate system. The book covers conventional topics: anatomy, electrophysiology, and key cellular characteristics, as well as emerging topics: patient specific computer modelling, induced pluripotent stem cells, and in vivo editing as state-of-the-art treatment strategy. Given the exhaustive coverage of topics, this book is "go-to reference" for the cardiac conduction system for years to come.

This volume was published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). It is an ideal reference for academics and researchers in anatomy, physiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering and medical education at Undergrad, Masters, PhD, and Post-Doc levels.

Dr. Jensen is an Assistant Professor, in the Department of Medical Biology, at the University of Amsterdam. His research focus is cardiac evolution from fish to man. He also studies expression of genes, development, anatomy, and physiology. He is interested in the evolutional conservation of the building plan of the heart, in the rich variation of cardiac chambers, septa, and architecture. Dr. Bas Boukens is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at Maastricht University. He has researched and studied arrhythmogenic remodeling in explanted human hearts and dynamics of ventricular fibrillation in sheep. He’s also investigated the mechanism of arrhythmias in J-wave syndromes, the role of autonomic nervous system in cardiac repolarization and in mechanisms of arrhythmias resulting from acute ischemia.
