ICDs and Pacemakers: Cardiac Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators: A Multi-Volume Workbook

There are many excellent textbooks that exist in the area of implantable devices for arrhythmia control. Few textbooks, however, provide a case study approach. Collectively, these workbooks provide an approach to problem solving an electrocardiographic interpretation for patients with permanent pacemakers and defibrillators. Volume 1 addresses patients with permanent pacemakers Volume 2 examines interactions between pacemakers and implantable defibrillators Volume 3 provides case studies of transtelephonic pacemakers electrocardiography Volume 4 provides more pacemaker and implantable defibrillator troubleshooting casesDrs. Hayes and Wang wrote this newest addition to acknowledge a simple fact: though modern implantable devices are relatively automatic in their functioning, their more sophisticated designs require a corresponding increase in the level of training of healthcare professionals responsible for following the devices. Accordingly, ICDs and Pacemakers achieves the dual goal of presenting more pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) troubleshooting cases, while also providing practical examples of problems that are encountered daily in follow-up centers. Clinical cardiologists, electrophysiologists, EP technicians, fellows and nurses will find this workbook to be a clinically valuable and helpful resource in the day to day care of patients with implantable devices.Paul Wang is the author of 'ICDs and Pacemakers: Cardiac Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators: A Multi-Volume Workbook', published 2000 under ISBN 9780879934514 and ISBN 0879934514.
