Book description
Nothing is more perplexing to the clinician new to device therapy than
having to deal with cardiac electrocardiograms from a device patient.
Pacemakers and other implantable cardiac rhythm management devices leave
their “imprint” on ECGs and can significantly change what clinicians see
- or expect to see. Evaluating paced ECGs can be challenging, yet
nowhere is it taught in any sort of comprehensive manner.
Designed specifically for clinicians new to device therapy, The
Nuts and Bolts of Interpreting Paced ECGs and EGMs offers
practical, reliable and objective information on paced cardiac
electrograms. Written in a lively, intelligent and easy to navigate
style, emphasizing real-life clinical practice and practical tips,
this book includes illustrated paced ECGs by skilled artists to help
minimize “fuzzy” lines and emphasize key points. Each chapter
concludes with a checklist of key points from each subject (“Nuts and
Bolts”).
