?This is a concise, well-written introduction to the interpretation of paced rhythms with many well-done recreated practice ECGs that both educate and challenge readers.? (<i>Doody?s Reviews</i> , October 2009)

Nothing is more perplexing to the clinician new to device therapy than having to deal with cardiac electrocardiograms from a device patient. Pacemakers and other implantable cardiac rhythm management devices leave their “imprint” on ECGs and can significantly change what clinicians see - or expect to see. Evaluating paced ECGs can be challenging, yet nowhere is it taught in any sort of comprehensive manner. <br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>Designed specifically for clinicians new to device therapy, <i>The Nuts and Bolts of Interpreting Paced ECGs and EGMs</i> offers practical, reliable and objective information on paced cardiac electrograms. Written in a lively, intelligent and easy to navigate style, emphasizing real-life clinical practice and practical tips, this book includes illustrated paced ECGs by skilled artists to help minimize “fuzzy” lines and emphasize key points. Each chapter concludes with a checklist of key points from each subject (“Nuts and Bolts”).</p>
