Pacing and ICDs are used increasingly in the management of
arrhythmias and a number of different cardiac conditions.
Specialists, general cardiologists and general physicians are now
closely involved in managing patients with these devices.
Implantable Cardiac Pacemakers and Defibrillators: All you
wanted to know is written by leading specialists from the UK
and USA and is designed for all physicians looking for a clear and
comprehensive introduction to the principles and functions of these
devices. The focus of this book has been on the indications for
these devices and continuing patient management for the generalist
and those in training – including complications and
troubleshooting that arise peri- and post-implantation.
Not only does Implantable Cardiac Pacemakers and
Defibrillators provide a sound introduction to the subject, in
the later chapters it goes beyond the basics, introducing more
advanced techniques such as lead extraction. It can be used both
for those in training and for those with direct patient care
responsibilities.
With its up to date, evidence-based approach and inclusion of the latest AHA guidelines on pacing, this is an ideal guide to a major aspect of modern cardiac management.
