Main description:

Following the huge success of previous editions, Electrophysiological Testing 4th edition is the must have resource for students, residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians because it: * clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias * discusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology keeping you completely up to date * provides clear summaries of complex topics * is written in a user-friendly and understandable writing style to make the information easy to digest and recall * includes an entirely new chapter on the key field of Cardiac Resynchronisation Reviews of previous edition: "Many times I have found that EP literature is very tied to research results and bogs down the primary topic and makes it difficult to understand. This book explains EP in plain English! I think it is in a class by itself." EP Technician, Galichia Heart Hospital, Wichita, KS, USA "It gives a good understanding of EP without getting too technical and complex in the explanations. It accomplishes a major task of "demystifying" the field of EP.
It not only addresses the needs of non technical EP Personnel, but also provides a precise overview of EP for general review." Cardiac NP, St. Jude's Medical Center
