Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology E Book

Fully revised and updated, Dr. Josephson's classic text provides a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias and the therapeutic interventions used to treat arrhythmias. This edition has a new full-color design, and a companion Web site offers the fully searchable text.

Offering a clear and consistent framework for recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of cardiac arrhythmia disturbances, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide covers the fundamental analytical skills needed in this challenging area. This portable, highly accessible handbook focuses on the basics of clinical electrophysiology— how and when to perform an electrophysiology study as well as principles of ablation and other invasive therapies—all in a succinct and modern format. Focuses on using an effective, consistent, decision-making process in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating rhythm disturbances of the heart, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardias, and other rapid or irregular heartbeats. Covers anatomic fundamentals of cardiac structures, clinical indications for electrophysiology studies, practicalities and methodology of performing an electrophysiology study, and problems encountered during the procedure. Includes quick clinical summaries and more than 180 illustrations: electrophysiology recordings, ECGs, cardiac anatomy, radiographic images, and electroanatomic maps. Discusses key topics such as mechanisms of arrhythmias, conventional and electroanatomic mapping systems, fundamentals of cardiac mapping, biophysics of catheter ablation, and much more. Offers real-world guidance on contemporary practice from leading cardiac electrophysiologists Drs. Demosthenes G Katritsis and Fred Morady, with input from a multinational team of electrophysiology fellows and cardiologists. Ideal as a stand-alone resource or used in conjunction with Dr. Douglas Zipes’ renowned textbook, Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside.

The Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Handbook, Second Edition, is a concise presentation in outline format of the practical information needed to understand the subtleties of cardiac electrophysiology. The Handbook focuses on the “how-to” management of arrhythmias, along with an understanding of the “why.” “. . . a quick source for information in the EP lab or on the wards offering the ability to quickly review the essential components before a case or to reinforce new notions and practices encountered during a case.” — From the Preface -Fully illustrated with more than 250 figures and tables. -Equally valuable to the cardiology fellow on their electrophysiology rotation, or an EP fellow or technologist working in the EP lab. New and updated sections in the Second Edition: -Ablation energy and biophysics, including pulsed field ablation -AF ablation techniques adjunctive to pulmonary vein isolation -Alternatives to cardiac resynchronization therapy -His bundle pacing -Intracardiac echocardiography -Left atrial appendage occlusion

The Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Handbook is a succinct presentation of all the practical information that is needed to understand the subtleties of cardiac electrophysiology and the management of arrhythmias.A focus on the "how to" -- learn about the approaches used to identify, diagnose, and manage a broad range of cardiac rhythm disorders....with an understanding of the "why"-- reinforce the underlying fundamental and clinical science concepts forming the basis for clinical electrophysiology decision-making."...a quick source for information in the EP lab or on the wards, as well as a guide to learning--offering the ability to quickly review the essential components prior to a case or to rapidly reinforce new notions and practices encountered during a case."

This text is a comprehensive introductory-level guide to invasive cardiac EP studies. Its focus is to enable the reader to understand and interpret the recording and stimulation techniques used during an EP study.

The gold standard in electrophysiology, Dr. Josephson's book brings to light current relevant practices aimed at medical internists, clinical cardiologists, and electrophysiologists, emphasizing the capabilities and limitations of clinical cardiac electrophysiology techniques. Thoroughly revised, the Third Edition includes increased coverage of catheter ablation and the latest information on new catheters and computers that measure electrical activity in the heart. Full-color heart maps and illustrations of electrophysiologic concepts help clarify the text. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.

A concise and practical tool for learning the basic concepts of cardiac electrophysiology, including the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias, and the indications for patient referral. Clinically oriented, practical and a useful resource for: -Allied health professionals in the lab and in the clinic -Fellows -The general physician who needs to know the technical aspects of electrophysiology -Anyone on the front line dealing with patients that present with cardiac problems
