Synopsis

Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Visual Guide for Nurses, Techs, and Fellows fulfills the need of allied health personnel and new fellows for a practical, hands-on pictorial guide that clearly illustrates the essential concepts of clinical cardiac electrophysiology. More than 70 high-quality tracings, diagrams, fluoroscopic images, and electroanatomic maps accompanied by detailed discussions of each image offer a fundamental understanding of cardiac electrophysiology equipment, principles, and procedures:

Catheter placement, hardware connections, and intracardiac signals

Normal electrogram sequences associated with sinus rhythm

Methodologies used to uncover the mechanisms of common clinical tachycardias

In addition, commentaries provided throughout the book introduce more advanced principles for readers who want to delve further into the EP study. Authored by a team of experts, Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Visual Guide for Nurses, Techs, and Fellows is an invaluable resource for a complex technology, providing superb guidance in acclimating new trainees and personnel to the EP laboratory and empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to practice clinical electrophysiology.

New to the Second Edition:
