Présentation de l'éditeur :
Eminently readable and well–illustrated, this book provides an excellent overview of cardiac pacing. All chapters have been revised and updated, with new sections on implantable cardioverter defibrillators and additional information on rate adaptive pacing, mode switching and lead extraction. Designed primarily as a practical guide for the busy cardiologist involved with pacemaker patients, this book details the basic principles of permanent and temporary cardiac pacing, but it will also be useful to cardiology residents, general internists, cardiac nurses, medical students and pacemaker technicians. The volume provides information on each aspect of evaluating the potential pacemaker patient––beginning with current clinical indications for temporary and permanent pacing; then to methods and basic concepts, mode selection, surgical aspects and potential complications and timing cycles; and finally, to troubleshooting and follow–up.
Revue de presse :
“The book is mainly addressed to electrophysiologists, but is certainly useful also for students, general cardiologists or other clinical specialists. It can be interesting also for physicists, nurses and biomedical engineers. We suggest this publication to nuclear physicians and residents interested in nuclear cardiology regarding growing interest connected with old and new radionuclide procedures, including receptor imaging, in diagnosing and evaluating patients with cardiac diseases affecting rhythm and in assessing conduction of the signal.” ( Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging , 1 December 2012) "This book is essential in providing up–to–date and concise information for physicians who want the knowledge and skills to manage patients." ( Doody′s , November 2008)
