Implantable Cardiac Pacemakers and Defibrillators:All You Wanted to Know

Book Description
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.
