Sommario/riassunto

Describes best practices in Ventricular Tachycardia and Fibrillation Ablation based on a consensus of the world's leading experts, based on the annual 'Venice Arrythmias' meeting. Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation has become a widespread, yet controversial, treatment modality in electrophysiology laboratories. Presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of all the most important and debated aspects of atrial fibrillation ablation. Covers all key topics, from pre- and intra-procedural management to best techniques and outcomes for patients with and without structural HD to Indicatio

Nota di contenuto

Babylonian mathematics -- Early Greek mathematics and Euclid's construction of the regular pentagon -- Three samples of Archimedean mathematics -- Ptolemy's construction of a trigonometric table.

Sommario/riassunto

Among other things, Aaboe shows us how the Babylonians did calculations, how Euclid proved that there are infinitely many primes, how Ptolemy constructed a trigonometric table in his Almagest, and how Archimedes trisected the angle. Some of the topics may be familiar



to the reader, while others will seem surprising or be new.
