Description
(Text)
This book provides a detailed summary of all aspects of cardiac electrophysiology, presented in an easy to use handbook. For each arrhythmia the aetiology, classification, clinical presentation, mechanism, and electrophysiology is set up (including precise set up and ablation parameters) and trouble-shooting are presented and demonstrated using interesting images, fluoroscopy images, ECG's and electrograms.
The overall aim of this book is to provide a logical and practical approach to cardiac arrhythmia management. It acts as a useful resource and, importantly, helps to promote this sub-specialty.
This book is aimed at cardiac electrophysiologist's, fellows, cardiologists, physicians, family practitioners, cardiology trainees, students, allied professionals and nurses. Given its succinct summary of electrophysiology is a useful reference guide for the electrophysiology laboratory. It is aimed at an international audience and provides an important guide for those studying for all heart rhythm exams.

(Review)
"This book bridges the gap between pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical applications in common electrophysiological disorders. ... The intended audience appears to be practitioners with a keen interest in arrhythmias. ... Each chapter has detailed illustrations, tables, and figures supporting the text, which aid in fostering comprehension. ... this book provides a succinct resource readers can use to gather pertinent information about their diagnosis and management." (Thomas Turnage, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
