Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology

This text is a guide to the theory and practice of a technique that is routinely used but for which at present no user-friendly exists. Conceived as an alternative to the texts aimed at specialists, this new manual provides the specialist in training with a thorough grounding in the equipment, procedures, and clinical findings with which clinicians need to be familiar. Divided into two sections, part one reviews the main kinds of arrhythmia, with illustrations of typical ECG findings supported where appropriate by correlative imaging. Part two focuses on the principal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including implantation of pacemakers, resynchronization therapy, use and placement of catheters, and ablation techniques.
