Because cardiac arrhythmias are common and EKG testing is very lucrative for the cardiologist and primary care physician, non-electrophysiologists often need a basic understanding of electrophysiology when deciding whether to refer patients for testing. This book is a concise guide to the indications for and use of electrophysiologic testing in cardiology. The author clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias and discusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology such as transcathether ablation and new catheter fluoroscope technologies.

Great Reference,
By
This review is from: Electrophysiologic Testing (Paperback)
Great reference to those just learning EP or who are new to the field. We used it for training of nursing staff in EP and for general cardiology fellows. The book is easy to read and has done an excellent job of making some of the more difficult concepts understandable.

This review is from: Electrophysiologic Testing (Paperback)
This book is a must if you're trying to learn about EP - scientific reduction at its best.

Wonderful EP book,

This review is from: Electrophysiologic Testing (Paperback)
I used this book during a month of electrophysiology during my PGY-1 year. It's a wonderful introduction, and I highly recommend it. Fogoros' prose is very readable.
