Description

Book Synopsis
The number of ICD patients is increasing sharply, yet the number of electrophysiologists-physicians who specialize in the electrical system of the heart-is not increasing as dramatically. Written for non-cardiologists, this book emphasizes real-life clinical practice and practical tips, including illustrations from actual clinical settings.

Trade Review
"The terminology used throughout the book is easily understood and this is explained further with the helpful extensive glossary"

"For the cardiac practitioner involved in the mechanics of ICD therapy and the implications for patients it is of clear relevance to practice."

British Journal of Cardiac Nursing
