Riassunto

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have moved out of the tertiary referral centres and are now routinely implanted in many large general hospitals. This book is designed for the general cardiology trainee at the beginning of their pacing career to act as an aid as they start implanting, whether they are in electrophysiology, devices, or general cardiology. This book is also useful to the cardiac technician as it contains invaluable information on device implantation and follow-up.

This book is an easy access guide to queries regarding programming, trouble-shooting and patient concerns. The book includes a helpful section on important and helpful tips, and is written in the successful Oxford Handbook format.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

...designed for electrophysiologists, but will reach a wider readership as it informs beyond guiding the specialist...buy it, enjoy it and be guided well by it. (British Journal of Hospital Medicine)

Anyone who has ever clutched a copy of an Oxford Handbook will immediately recognise this new publication from the Oxford University Press. The family DNA is there for all to see, from its pocket size to the durable plastic cover; from the indexing to the built in bookmarks...its bigest virtue is the fact that everything is written as bullet points or short concise paragraphs. And in true Oxford Handbook fashion, each pair of adjoining pages covers one topic and one topic only. This allows very thorough indexing, so finding what information you want is quick and easy. The quality of the information is also very comprehensive and virtually all topics are covered. (Dr Munmohan Virdee, Book Reviews)

This is a concise and helpful practical handbook for those charged with providing or contributing to a pacing, ICD and ILR service. The origin of the book predominantly from a single centre and its reliance on accepted international guidelines give the book a consistent uniformity and an undisputed authority. The authors should be congratulated. (from the foreword by Professor John Camm)

Dr. Jonathan Timperley studied medicine at the University of Leeds, before undertaking his specialist training in cardiology in Oxford. His sub-specialty interest is pacing devices and heart failure.
