Synopsis

FROM THE PREFACE:

One of the most essential skills in electrophysiology is the ability to analyze tracings. The scope of our practice has changed dramatically, and the tracings can range from the surface electrocardiogram, to pacemaker/ICD recordings, and finally, to complex intracardiac tracings. We have provided a sampling of tracings that cover the range of these experiences with a collection of basic, intermediate and challenging cases from all these areas. By doing this, we have created a volume that is useful to electrophysiology technicians, electrophysiology and pacing nurses, pacemaker and ablation field representatives and engineers, and especially electrophysiology fellows and physicians.

Each case includes relevant references that allow the reader to review the initial description of a particular pacing maneuver or the concept illustrated by the tracing(s). We have tried to focus on some of the fundamental concepts that underlie electrophysiology and pacing to provide an opportunity to review these important lessons.

We have enjoyed selecting and annotating these cases, and we hope that this book will prove useful to students and professionals preparing for the wide range of examinations that cover these areas as well as an educational and challenging learning experience.
