Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

In the rapidly evolving field of cardiac arrhythmias, direct management of patients with implantable cardia devices has become crucial. The devices have become increasingly complex, and understanding their algorithms and growing programming options is essential for physicians who implant and manage them. Written by experts and world authorities in the field, Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: En Expert's Manual provides electrophysiologists, fellows in training, nurses, and cardiovascular technicians involved in day-to-day management of device patients with detailed information about the many device algorithms and interaction.
