Publisher's Synopsis
The boundaries in interventional electrophysiology are continually being challenged by new discoveries, refinements in technology and procedure. This timely volume aims to present an up to date, practically orientated summary of current knowledge for the benefit of interventional electrophysiologists and other healthcare professionals participating in this growing field, including general cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiology fellows, biomedical engineers, technicians and nurses.
The text, developed by an international panel of acknowledged experts, comprehensively reviews the latest advances in catheter ablation, implantable cardioverter–defibrillators, pacing, as well as traditional surgical and mapping techniques for arrhythmias. Although the focus is on technique, the authors also explain the theoretical and technological advances which underlie this rapidly evolving subspeciality.
