Interpretation of Intracardiac Electrograms: The Fundamentals

by David J. Driscoll, Co-burn J. Porter, David A. Donovan

Overview

Created by experts from the Mayo Clinic, Interpretation of Intracardiac Electrograms: The Fundamentals is a unique, interactive online tool to help trainees, technicians, and clinicians gain a working understanding of basic intracardiac electrophysiologic concepts and tracings. Online examples of tracings combined with dynamic animations illustrate concepts in sinus rhythm, third-degree atrioventricular block, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, ablation procedures, AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. A self-assessment examination is included so that you may test yourself on the rhythms you have learned, and review those that pose extra difficulty. This unique online teaching tool... • Provides examples of intracardiac electrophysiologic tracings and animation of the electrical wavefronts on a heart diagram • Offers a brief description of each arrhythmia, followed by an interactive version of an intracardiac electrophysiologic tracing • Shows the wavefront as it moves through the heart diagram • Uses color-coded catheters to match the electrophysiologic tracings to which they correspond • Tests your knowledge before and then after using the module with a brief self-assessment exam

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Mohi Alkadri, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description: This handbook combines with online materials to teach the fundamentals of intracardiac electrophysiological testing.
Purpose: With its online resources, the book provides an interactive tool to study the intracardiac tracings that represent various arrhythmias.
Audience: This is a good resource for physicians in training who have an interest in electrophysiology as well as for electrophysiology laboratory nurses and technicians.
Features: The authors provide intracardiac tracings of commonly encountered cardiac arrhythmias using a unique interactive online approach. The book and online materials are high resolution and supplemented with clear and colorful pictures. Self-assessment questions are provided in the handbook.
Assessment: With this interactive approach, the authors have provided a distinctive educational design that makes studying intracardiac electrograms interesting and enjoyable. This is an excellent resource for cardiology fellows preparing for a rotation in the electrophysiology laboratory.
