Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.

Presenting a large amount of current information in an easily digestible form, the book:

• Proceeds logically from descriptions of device indications to selection of hardware and implementation
• Helps you understand the technical capabilities of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT and how to apply this knowledge clinically
• Facilitates reading and comprehension by limiting the number of authors; Drs. Hayes and Friedman are involved in all of the chapters

With CRT discussions in almost every chapter, this thorough revision also covers:

• Internet-based remote monitoring
• Device recalls
• New insights on how device therapy can prolong life and improve its quality

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.

Whether you are new to implantable cardiac device therapy or looking to refresh your knowledge, Cardiac Pacing, Defibrillation and Resynchronization: A Clinical Approach, 2^nd Edition, will help you better manage the care of your cardiac patients.
