Fogoros' Electrophysiologic Testing

Authoritative guide to applying, performing, and interpreting electrophysiologic tests to optimize the treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmiasFor more than thirty years, Fogoros' Electrophysiologic Testing has been a trusted introduction to the field of electrophysiology for anyone needing to quickly acquaint themselves with basic concepts and procedures of EP testing, especially medical students, residents, nurses and technicians. This book also serves as a ready reference for medical practitioners wanting to brush up on aspects of electrophysiology or fine-tune their mastery of the field.Overall, the text clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardia arrhythmia. Theauthors provide clear summaries of complex topics and implement a uniquely user-friendly style that makes information easy to digest and recall. To aid in practical application, clear, step-by-step guidance on performing EP tests and interpreting their results is provided, and the work also reviews the latest developments in therapeutic electrophysiology to keep readers up to date on developments in the field.This 7th Edition of Fogoros' Electrophysiologic Testing includes:Disorders of the heart rhythm, including the cardiac electrical system, abnormal heart rhythms, and treatment of arrhythmiasTranscatheter ablation, ablation of supraventricular tachycardias, ablation of PVCs and ventricular tachycardia, and ablation of atrial fibrillationAblation of atrial flutter, pacing therapy for heart failure, the evaluation of syncope, and the evaluation and treatment of cardiac arrhythmiasThe electrophysiology study in the evaluation of bradycardia (the SA node, AV node, and his-purkinje system), supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, and ventricular arrhythmiasAs with all previous editions, this updated and revised 7th Edition of Fogoros' Electrophysiologic Testing was written with the goal of demystifying electrophysiology and making it readily accessible to virtually anyone with a professional need, including medical students, residents, nurses, and technicians.
