Cardiac Rhythm Devices: A Case-Based Approach to Management

The rapid pace of device development and complexity in applications along with a lack of concise, problem-oriented references has made it difficult for non-electrophysiologists to confidently manage patients with implanted cardiac rhythm devices (ICRDs). This book will address this problem by compiling providing a practical, easy-to-read, problem-oriented, and case-based reference to assist in troubleshooting and management of the common complications of ICRDs. Readers will gain fundamental understanding of the applications and clinical indications, procedural techniques, pre- and post-procedure management, and common complications and their management. Over 30 in depth case presentations will provide real-world examples of issues associated with IRCD's and the many factors involved in clinical decision-making and effective management. This practical book will be an indispensable resource for the clinical cardiologist, cardiology fellow or any practitioner needing to improve understanding and skills in the application of IRCD's.
