Description
This thoroughly updated Second Edition is a comprehensive, practical guide to all current techniques and procedural aspects of interventional electrophysiology. A leading international group of experts describes in depth the procedures and techniques, the rationale for their use, and the available alternatives. Complementing the text are more than 600 illustrations, including spatially oriented "how-to" line drawings, radiographs, and conceptual diagrams. This edition features an extensively updated program of illustrations and includes the latest information on dual chamber defibrillators, atrial defibrillators and ablation techniques, and ablation and catheters.
