Description
Clinical Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization Therapy is the globally recognized gold standard reference in cardiac electrophysiology, providing a comprehensive and authoritative overview of implantable cardiac devices and advanced EP therapies. Now fully updated in its 5th Edition, this essential bench reference reflects the rapid evolution of pacing, defibrillation, and cardiac resynchronization therapy, equipping clinicians with the knowledge needed to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Authored by world-renowned experts in cardiac electrophysiology, the text delivers in-depth, clinically focused guidance across the full spectrum of device-based rhythm management. The content has been extensively reorganized to emphasize clinical relevance, with 15 new chapters addressing emerging technologies, updated techniques, and the latest evidence from clinical trials.
This edition features expanded coverage of subcutaneous ICDs, leadless pacing, His-bundle pacing, non–coronary sinus lead implantation, venoplasty, balloons and snares, spinal and neural stimulation, and other advanced procedural strategies. New sections on cardiac anatomy, physiology, and cardiac imaging, along with updated discussions of the basic science of device implantation, provide a strong foundation for both practical application and conceptual understanding.
Readers will also benefit from state-of-the-art insights into biological pacemakers, computer simulation and modeling, perioperative and pre-procedural management of device patients, and innovative approaches shaping the future of electrophysiology. The learning experience is further enhanced by a vast multimedia library, including over 60 expert-led case presentations and an expanded collection of procedural videos demonstrating key techniques and emerging technologies.
Designed for electrophysiologists, cardiologists, fellows, and advanced practitioners, Clinical Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization Therapy remains an indispensable reference for mastering modern cardiac EP practice in a fast-changing clinical landscape.
