Synopsis

The advances in technology surrounding pacemakers has led to an inevitable increase in the complexity of ECG interpretation of pacemaker-generated rhythms.

Simplified Interpretation of Pacemaker ECGs offers a step-by-step description of pacemaker ECG interpretations. An invaluable resource for cardiologists, residents, house officers, general clinicians, and nurse practitioners, this text includes:

• a step-by-step description of pacemaker ECG interpretations
• a brief refresher course on basic ECG interpretation with an overview of the conduction system of the heart
• a review of the hardware associated with pacing
• an explanation and discussion of the sensing and pacing function
• coverage of the most common pacing modalities and unusual pacing situations
• a series of case studies that bring together all of the information
• learned and provide the reader with a self-assessment of topics to review
• ECGs, charts, and illustrations
