HANDBOOK OF CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
by Francis D. Murgatroyd
Category: Medical

Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology provides a comprehensive introductory-level guide to invasive cardiac EP studies. Its focus is to enable the reader to understand and interpret the recording and stimulation techniques used during an EP study. The primary emphasis is on tachyarrhythmia diagnosis, but the book also includes bradycardias, the principles of catheter ablation and new mapping techniques. The main concepts are explained diagrammatically in a 4 colour format with clinical multichannel intracardiac recordings being used to illustrate the concepts discussed. The book provides sufficient practical information to enable the reader to plan an EP study and interpret the intracardiac recordings of most common tachycardias.
