In the rapidly evolving field of treating cardiac arrhythmias, the importance of direct management of patients with implantable cardiac devices is growing. The devices have become increasingly complex, and understanding their algorithms and growing programming options is essential for physicians who implant and manage them. Written by experts and world authorities in the field, Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: An Expert's Manual provides electrophysiologists, fellows in training, nurses, and cardiovascular technicians involved in day-to-day management of device patients with detailed information about the many device algorithms and interactions.Heavily illustrated with over 300 figures and tablesUniquely meets the day-to-day needs of all direct management professionalsFocuses in detail on algorithmsDescribes device interactions, addressing every major manufacturerProvides in-depth insight into pacing, including biventricular pacingDiscusses arrhythmia detection and device classification, testing, and therapyPacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: An Expert's Manual was listed by the American Journal of Cardiology as one of the "Good Books in Cardiovascular Disease in 2010." - American Journal of Cardiology Vol. 107, Issue 8, Pages 1250-1251

Practical Electrophysiology is a detailed presentation of the fundamental aspects of electrophysiology written by an internationally recognized group of experts. To fully engage the reader and to help facilitate the learning process, 77 case studies covering ECGs, SVTs, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and more are included not only with questions, but also with a full discussion of the answers.From the Preface:A plethora of significant new research and findings makes it difficult to keep up with the ever-changing field of electrophysiology. Despite these constant advances, there are fundamental aspects of the science that need to be understood by students of electrophysiology. This book was created to educate and uses cases and questions to keep the reader engaged. Chapter and case topics were chosen so that the information presented is useful for years to come. My associate editors and I are hopeful that this book will prove a useful tool for those interested in the field of electrophysiology. We also are very grateful to all the contributing authors for spending their time and effort to help create this handy but comprehensive and interesting work.Jasbir Sra, Milwaukee

Implantable defibrillators as originally conceived by Michel Mirowski were limited to the detection and automatic termination of ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia detection allowed the successful development of interventions for the termination of ventricular tachyarrhythmias before they degenerated into ventricular fibrillation.
