Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization

DESCRIPTION:

A practical and up-to-date guide to pacemaker technology and its clinical implementation

As the field of cardiology continues to advance and expand, so too does the technology and expertise behind today’s electrophysiological devices. Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization has been assembled by international specialists to give all those caring for patients with heart disorders a clear and informative guide to the pacemakers and clinical methods of today. Now in its fourth edition, this essential resource:

·         Explains different methods of pacemaker implementation in a straightforward and easy-to-follow manner

·         Explores the most common challenges faced by working clinicians

·         Features more than 750 illustrative graphics

·         Contains data on the efficacy and long-term outcomes of different device models

·         Covers new technology and clinical trial data

Written for cardiologists, cardiac pacing caregivers, and those preparing to take their electrophysiology board examinations, Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization offers a complete exploration of electrophysical devices and their vital role in modern-day cardiology.
