  This book demystifies the electrophysiologic study of those who deal with cardiac arrhythmia patients, and who are often in the position for referring patients for this procedure. Part I explores the basic principles underlying disorders of the heart rhythm. Part II emphasizes the effectiveness of electrophysiologic testing, and clarifies its role in the evaluation and treatment of cardiac arrythmias, and in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. The major changes in this new edition include extensive revision in two areas: the remarkable advancement and growth of transcatheter ablation in the last few years; and the significant changes in thought in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. In addition, the second edition includes a new chapter on the use of EP testing in the evaluation of syncope. This discusses the indications for EP testing in patients with syncope, as well as tilt table testing for these patients. The author notes that this latter technique has fallen under the purview of electrophysiologists, and is most often carried our in electrophysiology labs in conjunction with invasive EP testing.

  Following the huge success of previous editions, Electrophysiological Testing 4th edition is the must have resource for students, residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians because it: * clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias * discusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology keeping you completely up to date * provides clear summaries of complex topics * is written in a user-friendly and understandable writing style to make the information easy to digest and recall * includes an entirely new chapter on the key field of Cardiac Resynchronisation Reviews of previous edition: Many times I have found that EP literature is very tied to research results and bogs down the primary topic and makes it difficult to understand. This book explains EP in plain English! I think it is in a class by itself. EP Technician, Galichia Heart Hospital, Wichita, KS, USA It gives a good understanding of EP without getting too technical and complex in the explanations. It accomplishes a major task of demystifying the field of EP. It not only addresses the needs of non technical EP Personnel, but also provides a precise overview of EP for general review.
