Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide for Cardiac Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Treatment

Authored by renowned expert Demosthenes G Katritsis, this comprehensive handbook offers a clear and consistent framework for recognizing, diagnosing, and treating cardiac arrhythmia disturbances.

Practical Insights for Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellows and Cardiologists

This portable guide focuses on the fundamental analytical skills needed to navigate the complex landscape of cardiac electrophysiology. It covers the basics of clinical electrophysiology, including when and how to perform an electrophysiology study, principles of ablation, and other invasive therapies.

Evidence-Based Decision-Making for Rhythm Disturbances

The book emphasizes the importance of using an effective, consistent, decision-making process in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating rhythm disturbances of the heart, including:

• Supraventricular tachycardias
• Atrial fibrillation
• Ventricular tachycardias
• Rapid or irregular heartbeats

Anatomical Fundamentals and Clinical Indications

The guide delves into the anatomic fundamentals of cardiac structures, clinical indications for electrophysiology studies, and the practicalities and methodology of performing an electrophysiology study.

Visual Aids for Enhanced Understanding

The book features over 180 illustrations, including:

• Electrophysiology recordings
• ECGs
• Cardiac anatomy
• Radiographic images
• Electroanatomic maps

These visual aids facilitate a deeper understanding of complex concepts, making it an invaluable resource for cardiologists, cardiac electrophysiology fellows, and students.

Expert Insights from Leading Specialists

This practical guide is enriched by the expertise of Dr. Demosthenes G Katritsis and Dr. Fred Morady, with contributions from a multinational team of electrophysiology fellows and cardiologists.

A Comprehensive Resource for Cardiac Electrophysiology Professionals

This handbook serves as a stand-alone resource or can be used in conjunction with Dr. Douglas Zipes’ renowned textbook, Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in cardiac electrophysiology and provide the best possible care for your patients.
