Book description
As our population ages and multiple factors contribute to an
increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease, more patients than
ever before will be candidates for implantable devices as part of
their treatment for heart rhythm abnormalities. Electrophysiologists
have a widening array of sophisticated devices from which to choose,
and important new data about efficacy, long-term outcomes and possible
complications has emerged, impacting how devices are chosen and
utilized. Overall, the management of patients with pacemakers and ICDs
and other devices remains a complex topic and the need for
clear-headed, expert guidance has never been greater.
Now in its 3rd edition, Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and
Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach is a clinically focused
guide to Pacing and ICDs that caregivers can rely on for answers to
common but challenging questions on all aspects of device preparation,
from selection and programming to proper implantation and long-term
patient management.
This new edition of Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and
Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach:
• Provides answers to the most common clinical questions
• Presents a logical progression from descriptions of devices
and indications to hardware selection and proper
implementation
• Includes important updates in all covered areas,
especially in chapters on CRT and ICD therapies, where significant
advances have been made recently
• Features over 750
illustrations, most in full color
With it's focus on essential clinical information, and sensible,
matter-of-fact approach, Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and
Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach is the ideal guide for
busy providers. Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest knowledge and
with a wealth of visual content to illustrate processes and reinforce
key concepts, it is also an invaluable resource for those preparing to
take the Electrophysiology boards or other certification examinations.
