Practical Intracardiac Echocardiography in Electrophysiology

Long Description
Tremendous advances in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) have coincided with
the evolution of interventional electrophysiology. This book is designed to
provide both the electrophysiologist and echocardiographer with an in-depth
view of the role and value of ICE during electrophysiologic procedures. A guide
to techniques used for optimal ICE imaging in cardiac electrophysiology is
provided. In addition, new and less-recognized uses of ICE in
electrophysiological procedures are described and their clinical applications
are presented. Illustrated with over 500 images, many of which are in color,
the book can also be used as a practical atlas. Readers need not be experts in
the field of echocardiography to benefit from this practical approach to
intracardiac imaging in electrophysiology.
