Clinical cardiac electrophysiology: a practical guide

Classification of arrhythmias -- Electrophysiologic mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis -- Cardiac anatomy for the electrophysiologist -- Vascular access and catheter placement -- Electrophysiology hardware -- Basic intervals and atrial and ventricular conduction curves -- Electroanatomic mapping and magnetic guidance systems -- Physics of ablation -- Investigation of bradycardias -- Differential diagnosis of narrow-QRS (≤120 ms) tachycardias -- Differential diagnosis of wide-QRS (>120 ms) tachycardias -- Atrial tachycardias -- Atrial fibrillation -- Atrioventricular junctional tachycardias -- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardias -- Ventricular arrhythmias.

Offering a clear and consistent framework for recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of cardiac arrhythmia disturbances, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide covers the fundamental analytical skills needed in this challenging area. This portable, highly accessible handbook focuses on the basics of clinical electrophysiology-- how and when to perform an electrophysiology study as well as principles of ablation and other invasive therapies--all in a succinct and modern format.
