The Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Handbook, Second Edition, is a concise presentation of the practical information needed to understand the subtleties of cardiac electrophysiology. The Handbook focuses on the "how to" management of arrhythmias, along with an understanding of the "why." ". . . a quick source for information in the EP lab or on the wards, as well as a guide to learning-offering the ability to quickly review the essential components before a case or to reinforce new notions and practices encountered during a case."
