Cardiac Pacing a Physiological Approach

• 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.
• 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.
• Includes series of case discussions to deliver practical knowledge of this technique at different age group.
• Discusses different methods of left ventricular (LV) lead placement in difficult situations during CRT implantation.
• Enhanced by 679 high quality images, illustrations and flowcharts, the majority in full colour.
• Provides clear information on temporary and permanent pacing devices, post-implantation evaluation, and possible complications and interventions.
