His Bundle Pacing An Issue Of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics

This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, edited by Drs. Pramod Deshmukh and Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, will focus on His Bundle Pacing. Topics include, but are not limited to, Bundle of His – A contemporary reappraisal, Electrophysiology of bundle branch block, Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy, Tricuspid valve dysfunction caused by RV leads, His Bundle Pacing – concept to reality, How to perform HBP - Tools and techniques, Electro-anatomical atlas of HBP (LAO/RAO views & recorded Egms), Hemodynamics of His bundle pacing in comparison Apical & Septal pacing, HBP for cardiac resynchronization, Long-term results of HBP, Getting on the curve – learning HBP, HBP in conjunction with AV node ablation in AF, and Ongoing clinical trials and future developments.

In this issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, guest editors Drs. Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, Pugazhendhi Vijayaraman, and Santosh Padala bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Advances in Physiologic Pacing (such as dual-chamber (DDD and DDDR) and atrium-based pacing (AAI and AAIR) in contrast to ventricle-based pacing (VVI and VVIR). Top experts in the field cover key topics such as what we have learned from computer modeling of hemodynamics and LV pacing; troubleshooting the pacemaker EKG in patients with conduction system pacing; what intracardiac tracings have taught us about LBBB; multisite pacing in CRT; and more. Contains 20 relevant, practice-oriented topics including basic principles of hemodynamics during pacing; pacing optimized by dP/dt; optimization of CRT: Q-LV; programming algorithms for CRT; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on physiologic pacing, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This issue of the Cardiac Electrophysiology, edited by Dr. Masood Akhtar, will cover the physiological and pathological aspects of the His-Purkinje System in depth. This content will be supported by a variety of clinical cases that explore various aspects of and issues encountered involving the His-Purkinje System compliment the pathology and physiology.

This issue consists of 17 case studies, each involving a difficult decision that has to be made in the catheterization laboratory. Reading about the cases and seeing the ECGs will help cardiac electrophysiologists sharpen their clinical skills. The cases are also useful reading for those studying for board certification.

Debates and controversies about how to treat difficult problems or conditions abound in cardiac electrophysiology. This issue attempts to bring together a variety of controversial subjects and to present differing views on how to resolve these questions so clinicians will have a handy guide to the most current thinking about these difficult subjects.

This issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics--edited by Drs. Amin Al-Ahmad, Raymond Yee, and Mark Link--will focus on Contemporary Issues in Patients with Implantable Devices. Topics include, but are not limited to: Management of Device infections; Device longevity; Inappropriate ICD therapies; ILR for cryptogenic stroke; ICD implantation without DFT testing; S-ICD; Lead extraction; Use of the WCD as a bridge to ICD; Important parameters for ICD selection; Leadless pacemakers; Management of perioperative anticoagulation for device implantation; HIS bundle pacing; Single coil ICD leads; Venous system interventions for device implantation; and Remote monitoring.
