Book description
While there are many excellent pacing and defibrillation books, they
are nearly all written by physicians for physicians. The second edition
of the successful
The Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing
has been thoroughly updated, reflecting the new challenges, issues, and
devices that clinicians deal with. Written specifically for
non-cardiologists in a lively, intelligent and easy to follow style, it
emphasizes real-life clinical practice and practical tips, including
illustrations from actual clinical settings. Each chapter concludes with
a checklist of key points from each subject ("Nuts and
Bolts").
New features to the second edition include:
- updated terminology and images reflecting new software developments
- information on new innovations and advanced features, such as
ventricular intrinsic preference and AF suppression
- new features on the automatic atrial capture test and follow-up features
- new chapter covering clinical studies on the possible dangers of
excessive RV pacing
Building layer by layer on the fundamental principles and concluding
with advanced concepts, The Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing is
intended for a novice to appreciate overall concepts and for a
seasoned veteran to turn to answer a specific question.
This book offers practical, reliable and objective information on
cardiac devices - it's easy to pick up, find what you need, and put
down.
