Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach

by David L. Hayes, Paul A. Friedman

Overview

Consisting of 13 chapters, this book is uniformly written to provide sensible, matter-of-fact methods for understanding and caring for patients with permanent pacemakers, ICDs and CRT systems.

Now improved and updated, including a new chapter on programming and optimization of CRT devices, this second edition presents a large amount of information in an easily digestible form. Cardiac Pacing and Defibrillation offers sensible, matter-of-fact methods for understanding and caring for patients, making everyday clinical encounters easier and more productive.

Readers will appreciate the knowledge and experience shared by the authors of this book.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“This book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of managing permanent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.” (Doody's, April 2009)

Editorial Reviews

This book, written by three experts from Mayo Clinic, describes their approach in managing patients with permanent pacemakers and automatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (AICD). The authors would like this book to be used as a practical reference for clinicians dealing with patients who have pacemakers or AICDs. This book is very useful for cardiac electrophysiologists and nurses managing pacemaker and AICD patients. Many important aspects of permanent pacemakers and AICDs are covered, spanning from the basic foundation of pacing and defibrillation, to implantation techniques of these devices, to the follow up. The book contains informative pictures and diagrams that make it easy to understand. This is a well written book by experts in pacing and defibrillation that may serve as a day-to-day reference for clinicians and nurses dealing with patients with permanent pacemakers and AICDs.

Robert J. Hariman

The three authors, all affiliated with the Mayo Clinic, provide practical methods for understanding and caring for patients with permanent pacemakers and ICDs. They present a logical progression from descriptions of device indications to their selection, to device implantation and subsequent management, with sections on troubleshooting, complications, and follow-up.
