Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide 1st Edition

Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Practical Guide

Authors: Dr. Demosthenes G. Katritsis & Dr. Fred Morady

This concise yet comprehensive handbook delivers a clear and structured approach to the recognition, diagnosis, and management of cardiac arrhythmias, providing the essential analytical and procedural knowledge required in clinical electrophysiology. Designed for practical, real-world application, it serves as both a quick reference and a hands-on procedural guide for clinicians at all levels.

Key Features:

• Structured Framework: Offers a consistent decision-making model for diagnosing and treating a broad range of rhythm disturbances, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardias.
• Procedural Insights: Covers when and how to perform electrophysiology studies (EPS), addressing clinical indications, procedural methodology, and troubleshooting common intra-procedural issues.
• Visual Learning Aids: Includes over 180 detailed illustrations—ECGs, electrophysiology tracings, radiographic images, and electroanatomic maps—to reinforce understanding and procedural confidence.
• Core Concepts: Explains the mechanisms of arrhythmias, cardiac anatomy, fundamentals of mapping systems, and biophysics of catheter ablation in a clear and accessible format.
• Expert Guidance: Authored by world-renowned electrophysiologists with contributions from an international panel of cardiology specialists, ensuring a global and contemporary perspective.
• Clinical Utility: Compact and portable—ideal for daily clinical use, board preparation, or procedural reference in the EP lab.
• Enhanced eBook Access: Includes full digital access with searchable text, figures, and references across multiple devices.
