In many cases, diagnosis of inherited disease is delayed or missed owing to a lack of awareness, and an even greater number of relatives are exposed to unnecessary risk. This new edition of \u003cem\u003eInherited Cardiac Disease\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive summary of the aetiology, presentation, and management of genetic disorders of the cardiovascular system. Fully updated to reflect the advances in molecular genetic technologies and the publication of national guidelines for the management of families with inherited cardiac diseases, it retains the first edition's broad scope and applicability to all members of the multidisciplinary team, from specialists in cardiology and clinical genetics, to genetic counsellors, paediatricians, nurse specialists, and GPs who may come into contact with families presenting with inherited cardiac diseases. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContaining both a short section on the general principles of cardiovascular genetics, individual disorders are then examined in detail, each featuring a clinical summary, diagnostic tests and special investigations, and treatments relevant to each inherited cardiac disease. Written in the succinct bullet-point style of the Oxford Specialist Handbooks, this new edition of \u003cem\u003eInherited Cardiac Disease\u003c\/em\u003e delivers key information in an accessible manner, and is an invaluable guide to anyone who works with patients who are affected by inherited diseases of the cardiovascular system in their practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerry Elliott, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Cardiovascular Medicine, University College London; Head of the UCL Centre for Heart Muscle Disease, and lead of the Inherited Cardiovascular Disease Unit, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UK\u003c\/em\u003e, Pier D.

After qualifying in 1987 he trained in general medicine, gaining membership of the Royal College of Physicians in 1991. He completed his general cardiology training at St. George's Hospital Medical School, London. Over the past 10 years he has established an international reputation in the field of heart muscle disease, authoring more than 170 peer reviewed papers on the subject. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProfessor Lambiase is a consultant cardiologist specialising in electrophysiology at the Heart Hospital, University College London. He originally trained in Medicine at Oxford graduating in 1992. Following specialisation in Cardiology at the Hammersmith Hospital, he completed a PhD at St Thomas' Hospital London before sub-specialising in cardiac electrophysiology and pacing. He was awarded the British Cardiac Society Young Investigator prize in 2002 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProfessor Dhavendra Kumar is a Visiting Professor, Genomic Policy Unit, The University of Glamorgan and Consultant in Clinical Genetics for All Wales Medical Genetics Service at the University Hospital of Wales, Institute of Medical Genetics, Cardiff University. After qualifying in Medicine from the King George Medical College, University of Lucknow, India, he completed postgraduate training in Pediatrics with an MD. Since 1980 he has pursued a career in Medical Genetics in the UK. He is a Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics (FACMG) and as well as Royal Colleges of Physicians (FRCP-London and FRCP-Ireland) and Pediatrics and Child Health (FRCPCH-UK). Professor Kumar's current research is focussed on inherited cardiovascular disease, specifically 'sudden cardiac death' and 'molecular genetics of chronic heart failure'.
