Written as a companion text to Dr Hesselson’s first book
about pacing, Simplified Interpretation of ICD Electrograms
focuses on teaching an understanding of the electrogram (EGM)
signal for troubleshooting ICD rhythms. The book includes an in
depth review of the general function of an ICD (defilbrillation
electronics, arrthythmia detection/therapy), as well as an extended
summary of the commonly encountered arrthythmia in an EGM and ECG
format. Throughout the book, Dr Hesselson emphasizes that the key
for troubleshooting these devices lies in the ability to make the
transition from surfaceECG to EGM interpretation. Also included is
an extensive chapter on biventricular pacing, particularly as it
relates to its function in an ICD. The book ends with 50 clinical
case studies designed to illustrate the text’s key
principles.
No one has attempted previously to explain the EGM signal in
such a pedagogical style, and no significant amount of material has
been formally published detailing methods for troubleshooting
biventricular ICD pacing systems.
- Expert guidance on understanding the EGM signal for
troubleshooting ICD rthythms.
