The main focus of this volume is to provide a practical discussion of the "nuts and bolts" of implantable cardiac devices. This new edition will become a valuable resource to the general cardiologist and cardiology fellow.

Fundamentals of Cardiac Pacing was just honored with 4 Stars from Doody's Book Review! An introductory guide to cardiac pacing, Fundamentals of Cardiac Pacing covers the key topics that residents, fellows, nurses, and other clinical personnel must be familiar with in order to care for the growing number of patients with cardiac pacemakers. This concise and clearly written handbook covers all dimensions of cardiac pacing including indications, technology, implantation techniques, programming, diagnostics, and follow-up as well as evidence-based guidelines for pacemaker implantation, avoidance of complications, and patient preparedness. This is a straightforward, complete and essential guide to the long-term care of patients with cardiac pacemakers, and is the perfect resource for any health care professional.

Cardiac Pacing: An Illustrated Introduction will provide an introduction to all those who have or who are developing an interest in cardiac pacing. At a time in the UK when pacing is being devolved from specialist tertiary cardiac centres to smaller district general hospitals and in the USA where pacemaker implantation is no longer the responsibility of the surgeon and in the domain of cardiologists, there is a need for a text which offers a guide to pacing issues to be used alongside a comprehensive practical training programme in an experienced pacing centre

Ideal for daily practice and desk reference, this book is written for internists as well as specialists in cardiology to inform and improve therapeutic measures being used in cardiac pacement. In addition, indications, pacer selection, implantation, and complications are described. A discussion of the postoperative monitoring of the patient is also included. Over 300 illustrations are combined with instructive text.

While there are many excellent pacing and defibrillation books, they are nearly all written by physicians for physicians.
