    Summary: The updated and expanded second edition of this book presents a contemporary review of the basic science, engineering technology, and clinical practice of cardiac bioelectric therapy. It covers the rapidly expanding technological development of pacemakers and defibrillators as well as ablative therapy, electrophysiological mapping, and other clinical diagnostic and therapeutic breakthroughs. The book highlights many different aspects of bioelectric therapy, including history, biophysical and computational concepts, basic electrophysiology studies, engineering technology advances, and clinical perspectives. In this revised edition, leading clinical and basic electrophysiologists share their perspectives on the science behind the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias; breakthrough technologies for scientific and clinical investigation of heart rhythm disorders; theoretical conceptualization of arrhythmias and treatment using state-of-the-art computational approaches; and novel approaches to treatment of cardiac arrhythmias using implantable devices, percutaneous ablation therapies, machine learning, and other approaches. The Second Edition of Cardiac Bioelectric Therapy is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and graduate students in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, cardiology, and cardiac surgery as well as researchers, professionals, and students in biomedical, mechanical, and electrical engineering.

    The binding and internalization of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in human epithelioid carcinoma cells (A-431), which have approximately 2.6 X 10(6) receptors per cell, has been followed with 125I-labeled EGF and by fluorescence microscopy. We have prepared a fluorescent derivative of EGF that is biologically active and retains substantial binding affinity for cell receptors. After binding of this derivative to cells at 6 degrees, the cellular borders were prominently stained and the fluorescence on the remainder of the membrane was uniform. Upon warming of these cells to 37 degrees for 10 min, the surface fluorescence diminished and randomly distributed endocytotic vesicles appeared in the cytoplasm. After 20 min at 37 degrees these fluorescent vesicles formed a perinuclear ring. The binding of EGF to the surface of these cells was also visualized by immunofluorescence using rabbit antibodies to EGF and rhodamine-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibodies. We did not detect large fluorescent clusters or cap formation in these experiments. These data provide direct confirmation of the previous biochemical data that suggested that cell membrane-bound EGF is rapidly internalized.
