Description
Book SynopsisNothing is more perplexing to the clinician new to device therapy than having to deal with cardiac electrocardiograms from a device patient. Pacemakers and other implantable cardiac rhythm management devices leave their imprint on ECGs and can significantly change what clinicians see - or expect to see.
Trade Review?This is a concise, well-written introduction to the interpretation of paced rhythms with many well-done recreated practice ECGs that both educate and challenge readers.? (
