About this title

Review

"It systematically and consistently presents cases in such a way that allows readers to capture the root tenets of resynchronization therapy. The cases build on each other in a way that emphasizes the importance of patient selection, trouble shooting, and anticipation skills, and provide pertinent clinical questions and discussions. Each chapter is supplemented by a collection of supportive modalities such as chest radiography, echocardiographic findings, angiography, and many others. This book is a well-crafted link between randomized control trial findings and clinical optimization and outcomes."-David Moll, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation) Doody Review: 88/100"This outstanding text will appeal to clinicians from widely varying backgrounds, and each will learn something valuable.
