Summary:

Ellenbogen (cardiology, Medical College of Virginia) et al. bring together a group of cardiac specialists from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and China for a textbook for clinicians, nurses, technicians, scientists, and engineers on the science of cardiac pacing, implantable defibrillation, and cardiac resynchronization therapy, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the field. In 35 chapters, they cover basic principles of device therapy; clinical concepts, including physiology, clinical trials, pacing for various conditions, testing, and pediatric pacing and defibrillator use; implantation techniques, including interventional techniques, prevention and management of complications, lead extraction, and imaging; and follow-up and programming, such as troubleshooting of various devices, timing cycles, monitoring, electromagnetic interference, and ethical issues. This edition incorporates new technologies like leadless pacing and the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. A searchable version of the full text, images, many videos, and tables are available online. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
