Full Description
New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation is the cutting edge book required by pediatric cardiologists and other professionals who encounter arrhythmias in children. Holter ECG examination has recently undergone significant advances in technology, sensors, and software. Yet, these innovations have been considered primarily in the context of adult patients. On the contrary, New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation uses a case-based methodology to illustrate diagnosis and management of actual pediatric patients. Further, it offers guidance in deciding when referrals are necessary for arrhythmological consultations or ablation interventions. This book also contains novel techniques for detecting and interpreting pediatric arrhythmias. These include the introduction of Poincare graphs, Lorenz plots, and other advanced methods for assessing heart rate variability. New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation modernizes readers' understanding of arrhythmias in children, thus improving the young lives of those in their care.
