Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide 1st Edition

Your Practical Guide to Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology

This book provides a clear and consistent framework for the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of cardiac arrhythmia disturbances. This portable, highly accessible handbook focuses on the basics of clinical electrophysiology—how and when to perform an electrophysiology study, as well as principles of ablation and other invasive therapies—all in a succinct and modern format.

Key Features

• Decision-Making Process: It focuses on using an effective, consistent, decision-making process in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating rhythm disturbances of the heart, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardias.
• Comprehensive Coverage: It covers the anatomic fundamentals of cardiac structures, clinical indications for electrophysiology studies, practicalities and methodology of performing an electrophysiology study, and problems encountered during the procedure.
• Extensive Illustrations: Includes quick clinical summaries and more than 180 illustrations, including electrophysiology recordings, ECGs, cardiac anatomy, radiographic images, and electroanatomic maps.
• Key Topics: It discusses key topics such as mechanisms of arrhythmias, conventional and electroanatomic mapping systems, fundamentals of cardiac mapping, and biophysics of catheter ablation.
• Expert Authorship: Offers real-world guidance from leading cardiac electrophysiologists with input from a multinational team of electrophysiology fellows and cardiologists.
• Enhanced eBook: An enhanced eBook version is included with purchase, allowing you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
