Opis

This book provides clinical and electrovectorcardiographic evidence of the existence of left septal fascicular blocks and demonstrates the clinical importance of these blocks in the clinical scenario of acute coronary syndrome. There are currently no standard criteria for detecting conduction defects involving the third left fascicle, the septal or median fascicle, and the very existence of such defects is still a matter of controversy. This book provides acceptable and consistent terminology and definitions for the electrovectorcardiographic diagnosis of a left septal fascicular block. Left Septal Fascicular Block: Characterization, Differential Diagnosis and Clinical Significance is an original and unique book that sheds light on an important topic of discussion in cardiac electrophysiology.

Dr Pérez-Riera got his degree as Medical Doctor at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, in 1973 where after 6 years he got the “University award”, consisting of a golden medal and a diploma for having obtained the highest average in marks between my peers.

He was invited to become the chief of the sector of Electrocardiology of the Discipline of Cardiology, of the Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, in Santo André. In this institution he obtained the Master’s degree and next PhD in Health Sciences (2007/2011). He was part of the team that wrote the guidelines on the interpretation of rest ECG in Brazil, 2003 and 2013.

He published 4 books on Hypertension, Electrocardiology (Jabuti Award 2010), “Learning Vectorcardiology Easy” (in English) and on the value of ECG and VCG in Brugada syndrome.

He is governor of the ISHNE, part of Journal of Electrocardiology, Cardiology Journal and Annals of Electrocardiology Boards. Appointed DISTINGUISHED visitor to the Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Tucumán, Argentina, granted on May 21st, 2004, by the Dean of the above mentioned School.
