“This book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of managing permanent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.” (<i>Doody's</i>, April 2009)

Fully reflecting the evolution of device therapy, the second edition of Drs. Hayes and Friedman’s popular guide continues to provide sensible, matter-of-fact methods for understanding and caring for patients with permanent pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices. <p>Presenting a large amount of current information in an easily digestible form, the book:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Proceeds logically from descriptions of device indications to selection of hardware and implementation</li> <li>Helps you understand the technical capabilities of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT and how to apply this knowledge clinically</li> <li>Facilitates reading and comprehension by limiting the number of authors; Drs. Hayes and Friedman are involved in all of the chapters</li> </ul> <p>With CRT discussions in almost every chapter, this thorough revision also covers:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Internet-based remote monitoring</li> <li>Device “recalls”</li> <li>New insights on how device therapy can prolong life and improve its quality</li> </ul> <p>Chapters on Programming and Troubleshooting are revised to keep pace with rapid developments. Clear illustrations and tables help you assess electrocardiographic and technical information. An especially important chapter on follow-up will enhance the care of patients with arrhythmias.</p> <p>Whether you are new to implantable cardiac device therapy or looking to refresh your knowledge, <b>Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach, 2^nd Edition,</b> will help you better manage the care of your cardiac patients.</p>
