Main description:

Cardiac Pacing: A Physiological Approach is a highly illustrated guide to implanting, monitoring and maintaining a pacemaker.

Divided into fourteen chapters, the book begins with the history of the pacemaker and an introduction to physiological pacing. Subsequent chapters cover managing algorithms for pacemakers, different types of selective site pacing, and a case discussion. The second half of the book includes an introduction to cardiac resynchronisation therapy, the role of pre-procedure ECG analysis in pacing, anatomy of coronary sinus, and implantation technique. The book concludes with chapters on surface electrocardiography and cardiac resynchronisation follow-up, optimising response to treatment, and new advances in the field of cardiac pacing.

Each of the chapters in this book contains a section providing specific information on postgraduate entrance examinations. Enhanced by 679 high quality images and illustrations, the majority in full colour, Cardiac Pacing: A Physiological Approach provides clear information on temporary and permanent pacing devices, post-implantation evaluation, and possible complications and interventions.
