"Authored by experts in the field, it is a tremendous and thorough resource of information (including elaborate trial data and global perspectives), well written, beautifully illustrated, and relevantly referenced. It is what I consider to be a 'must-read' work for all of us who treat women, and a mandatory reference for those of us who manage women with rhythm disorders." --Nora Goldschlager, MD, Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, and Pacemaker Clinic Director at San Francisco General, CA

"Drs. Cha, Lloyd and Birgersdotter-Green are to be commended for putting together a comprehensive textbook exploring sex differences in arrhythmias and how they impact the diagnosis and treatment of women with electrophysiologic disorders." --Anne B. Curtis, MD, Charles and Mary Bauer Professor and Chair, Department of Medicine, University at Buffalo, NY

"This is a unique review of specific issues related to arrhythmias in women written by female leaders in the field of electrophysiology. This is an important contribution on a topic which to date has been largely ignored." --Anne M Gillis, MD, Professor of Medicine, Department of Cardiac Sciences, University of Calgary, Canada

"This is an outstanding book, and it is very easy to read and understand. Written by leaders in the field, it effectively closes the gap in the current knowledge of arrhythmia care in women. This is a must read resource for all physicians caring for patients with heart rhythm disorders." Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars! --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review

"The authors and editors have succeeded in presenting the data in an easily digestible fashion, and have covered the important issues and barriers relating to the treatment of arrhythmias in women. I recommend this book as a good resource not only for electrophysiologists, but for any physician or health professional caring for women with arrhythmias." --Circulation

"[...] In deepening an understanding of women's health, the book completes a more cohesive picture of the field as a whole. Even those who do not have a particular clinical focus on caring for female patients would do well to indulge in this little gem." --PACE

"This book is not only an important, but an essential resource for cardiologists, clinicians, electrophysiologists, internists, and related health care professionals who seek to better diagnose and treat arrhythmias in their women patients. It provides an up-to-date review of the diagnosis and treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias." - Biz India Book Review
