"This is a thorough, well organized and highly readable manual of clinical electrophysiology with abundant clear figures emphasizing the arrhythmia and the underlying anatomy. It is capped off with a series of cases providing the reader with a chance to hone what they learned in the preceding chapters with real clinical scenarios. This should be very popular with any serious student of electrophysiology."
-- George J. Klein, MD, FRCP(C), Professor of Medicine, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada
"Asirvatham and his colleagues from the Mayo Clinic have produced what surely will be a classic work in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. This book is a treasure. It is a unique compendium of cases and principles in electrophysiology that combine anatomy, electrophysiology and clinical imaging. Through a comprehensive discussion of specific cases, the authors prepare the cardiac electrophysiologist to appreciate the anatomy of physiology of the problems faced on a daily basis caring for patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The figures and anatomic drawings are spectacular and cannot be found in any other textbook. These drawings are in and of themselves a testament to one of the world's remaining powerhouses of medical illustration...After devouring this book, my only complaint is I hope I do not have to wait too long for the next edition."

"This text is indeed a manual as stated in the title with the primary goal of instructing in the performance of procedures in the clinical electrophysiology laboratory, which in current use is more appropriately termed the catheter ablation laboratory. However, the term "manual" greatly understates the depth and scope of the text. There are abundant illustrations and enlightened discussions of the mechanisms of arrhythmias and the anatomic variations and anomalies in the rich variety of cases presented both in the didactic first portion of the text and in the numerous case presentations of the second portion. This manual will benefit not only trainees but also experienced practitioners and academicians in the field."

"This will be an excellent reference for clinicians in training and practicing cardiac electrophysiologists. The questions and case-based format will be particularly helpful to those in training." --
