Now in its updated Fifth Edition, this highly popular book provides a practical introduction to the basic principles of cardiac pacing. It explains when and how to place temporary and permanent pacemakers, how to set rates and make adjustments, and how to monitor patients to ensure that the pacemaker is functioning properly. The complexities of cardiac electrophysiology are discussed in clinically relevant terms.This edition features an extensively revised chapter on implantable cardioverter defibrillators and antitachycardia pacing and expanded coverage of MRI in patient follow-up. The book includes a glossary of terms and two appendices--a conversion chart and pacing paradigms.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Stuff you gotta know,
By Marilyn Taylor (Kiawah Island, SC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Practical Guide to Cardiac Pacing (Paperback)
This book has become a classic, and is now in its 5th edition. It reviews all that you need to know to manage patients with pacemakers, and it is clearly enough written to be a good reference for the non medical person. I have had a number of patients with pacemakers use the book. If you plan a career in electrophysiology, buy an encyclopedic text. But for the primary care physician and general cardiologist, this is your best reference for pacemakers.

This review is from: A Practical Guide to Cardiac Pacing (Paperback)
Like the format, and is easily readable. Would recommend it for Cath lab staff, office staff as well as physicians looking for basic practical tips for pacing.
