Remote Monitoring: implantable Devices and Ambulatory ECG / Edition 1

by Jonathan S Steinberg, Varma Niraj

Overview

With a focus on the growing field of cardiology remote monitoring, this state-of-the-art reference provides must-know clinical and technical information as well as recent advances in application, engineering, and clinical impact from the current literature. Authoritative coverage of implantable devices and ambulatory ECG brings you up to speed on recent practice changes in remote monitoring that have alleviated the volume of in-office patient follow-ups, allowed for physicians to monitor more patients, enabled better patient compliance, and most importantly, provided earlier warning signs of cardiac problems.
 

• Includes sections on implantable devices and ambulatory ECG, covering topics such as patient safety, current guidelines and technologies, clinical indications, managing appropriate and inappropriate therapies, costs and reimbursement, data management, patient satisfaction issues, and much more.
• Presents new guidelines and practice changes driven by recent clinical data.
• Provides access to practical, current information in an easy-to-navigate, full-color format.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Marloe Prince, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description: This is a brief overview of implantable and nonimplantable devices and ambulatory ECG monitoring.
Purpose: The book discusses the history and evolution of these devices, including recent changes which have significantly improved patient management, as well as their clinical and technical aspects.
Audience: It is most suitable for practicing cardiologists, cardiology fellows, electrophysiologists, electrophysiology fellows or cardiac device representatives.
Features: In 19 chapters, this book gives a comprehensive overview of implantable devices, ambulatory ECG, and managing heart failure and serious cardiac events with nonimplantable devices. It outlines changes in technology in these devices, their management and function, and the use of these devices for arrhythmias/heart failure patients to improve outcomes. Finally, it summarizes the guidelines for use of these devices as well as future directions.
Assessment: With cardiac devices being used more frequently now than previously, it is key to have a thorough yet easy to understand resource such as this book. The authors do an excellent job of making difficult topics easy to understand. For this reason, this is a go-to resource for general cardiologists and general cardiology fellows.
