Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Stored ECGs

Clinical Management and Case Reports

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Stored ECGs instructs the reader on the appropriate and optimal reading of device diagnostics in clinical practice using a format developed around low text volume, charts, and practical (hands-on) protocols that can be used directly during ICD follow-up. This concise didactic reference book provides clinical information via the use of images to illustrate specific diagnostic features in defibrillator therapy. The first part consists of chapters on defibrillator diagnostics, followed by case-based presentations with images, actual patient histories and a summary paragraph. All common and some rarer situations are covered.

Rezensionen

"Features: The first part of the book includes an introduction to ICDs, evolution of early devices into the current ones, general features of the devices, and a basic approach to analyzing stored electrograms. This section assumes significant prior knowledge of ICDs and arrhythmias. The second part, the 48 clinical vignettes, is well written with easy to understand, organized explanations of the electrograms. The unique clinical vignettes structure is an excellent way to improve understanding of ICDs and stored electrograms." "Assessment: This is a high quality book that can be quite useful as an adjunct to conventional textbooks in the area of implantable cardioverter defibrillators." Score: Weighted Numerical Score: 78 (Doody.com)
