Over the years we have heard many complaints that there is no very simple book on cardiac pacing for real beginners. We have also heard that all the books on cardiac pacing are too complicated and impossible to understand by beginners. Many have voiced the hope that one day someone would write a book in the same style as Dubin’s book on basic electrocardiography which is a huge bestseller with well over a million sold in many languages. A ‘Dummy’ book on cardiac pacing would appeal to nurses, cardiology technicians, medical students and pacemaker companies for training their staff. We started with the assumption that the reader would know the principles of electrocardiography as in Dubin’s book but nothing about cardiac pacing. We carefully studied the Dubin book and believe that we have improved his teaching method. The book consists of numbered illustrations each illustrating a concept in the form of a diagram drawn professionally. We have been careful to make the artwork simple for easy comprehension. Each illustration will occupy a page and have several lines of text below it. We have already completed most of these. It is essential that there are all in color, this is a unique selling point. The 3 authors have had vast experience in the field. Dr Barold has published 10 books on cardiac pacing and wrote the section on cardiac pacing in the 4th and 5th Edition of Braunwald’s book, Heat Disease.". S. Serge Barold, Roland Stroobandt and Alfons Sinnaeve. Content:.:.; The plates depicting a concept with occupy 1 pages. Each plate consists of a diagram and a short text.; All diagrams are in color. In black and white they would lose their teaching value.; There will be approx 200 plates.; There will be approx 100 electrocardiograms.; There will be a glossary, appendices and index more...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is one of the most exciting new advances in the treatment of chronic severe heart failure associated with dyssynchronous ventricular contraction that is refractory to medical treatment. This new text is edited by 5 experts in heart failure, electrophysiology, and non-invasive cardiac imaging, and is extensively illustrated with high quality figures and examples of clinical cases. The purpose of the book is to put into perspective this novel therapy with regards to traditional heart failure treatment and to provide criteria for the identification of patients likely to have an optimal and sustained response to CRT using a practical approach. This text begins by describing the background and evolution of the technique to the current implementation and the impact of complications on clinical outcome. There are chapters describing cutting-edge Doppler echocardiography for assessing dyssynchrony, reverse remodeling, and triaging patients into those with greatest likelihood ofresponding to CRT with illustrative clinical case examples. There is a full description of the results of all the randomized clinical trials and a number of chapters discussing the need for concomitant internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD), special circumstances such as atrial fibrillation, right bundle branch block, left ventricular lead placement, and the etiology of heart failure with clinical case examples for each. more...
