The second edition of this bestseller provides a practical, user-friendly manual guiding the theory and practice of cardiac electrophysiology. The handbook provides the specialist in training with a thorough grounding procedures, and clinical findings for clinicians. It provides a review of the main kinds of arrhythmia with illustrations of typical ECG findings supported where appropriate by correlative imaging. It also details the principal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures include implantation of pacemakers, resynchronization therapy, and ablation techniques.
Key Features
Provides concise, user friendly guide to the equipment, procedures and clinical findings with which EPs need to be familiar
Delivers alternatives resource to the flagship titles available in this field - idea for those beginning training or seeking an update
Presents extensively updated material to enhance comprehension
Includes new treatments and devices for electrophysiologists trained to perform interventional cardiac electrophysiology studies (EPS) as well as surgical device implantations
Arvustused
This expanded second edition of a comprehensive overview of the complex subject of electrophysiology focusing on the intricate clinical aspects of diagnosis and treatment. It addresses the updated aspects of pacemaker and ICD technology as well as the advances in ablation therapy. The objectives laid out by the editors are adequately met and the use of detailed graphics, ECGs, charts, and graphs provides excellent visual aids to guide physicians in understanding the objectives. It builds a framework for the understanding of complex concepts by starting with the diagnosis of specific arrhythmias and incrementally adding more complexity to the treatment. The use of numerous ECG examples with arrows and detailed explanations helps to conceptualize sophisticated electrophysiology. The use of other figures, charts, and graphics significantly helps readers solidify their understanding of the text. This book is a valuable resource for cardiology fellows in training interested in electrophysiology, electrophysiology fellows, and electrophysiologists. The quality of ECGs and the content of the book is excellent.
