Produktbeschreibung

Reviews of previous editions: "...a well conceived practical guide to the interpretation and treatment of the main cardiac rhythm disturbances." --Lancet "This book presents a concise and simplified approach to the diagnosis and management of abnormalities in cardiac rhythm.... One of the book's strengths is the number and quality of electrocardiographic tracings" --New England Journal of Medicine "...this book provides an excellent foundation for all those involved in the care of arrhythmia patients" --British Journal of Hospital Medicine "...would recommend it unreservedly to anaesthetists who wish to improve their knowledge of cardiac arrhythmias" --British Journal of Anaesthesia "This book about cardiac arrhythmias is of much educational value" --European Heart Journal A trusted source for junior doctors, students, nurses and cardiac technicians for over 30 years, the new edition of this classic reference continues the winning formula of previous editions while at the same time incorporating essential new content on today's most important clinical topics, including: * Atrial fibrillation: ablation, drugs, rate control versus rhythm control, risk of systemic embolism, prognosis * Indications for and management of implantable defibrillators including complications such as arrhythmia storms * Indications for pacemaker implantation * Anticoagulant therapy (for atrial fibrillation) * Long QT syndromes and other channelopathies * Recently-approved anti-arrhythmia drugs The 8th edition also features the latest guidelines on ECG screening of athletes and clear guidance for anaesthetists and surgeons dealing with patients with arrhythmias an/or implantable devices. Rich with example ECGs and designed for ease of access to information, Bennett's Cardiac Arrhythmias is the reference you can trust to help you master arrhythmia diagnosis and provide optimal treatment of any patient under your care.

Rezensionen

"Rich with example ECGs and designed for ease of access toinformation, Bennett's Cardiac Arrhythmias is the referenceyou can trust to help you master arrhythmia diagnosis and provideoptimal treatment of any patient under your care." (Kingbook73's Medical Ebook and Video Collection, 7 October2014)

"Bennett's cardiac arrhythmias offers acomprehensive overview of the mechanisms and management of the mostcommonly encountered types of arrhythmia in clinical practice. Alarge variety of good quality examples are provided appended withconcise explanatory notes......not only does the author outline andexemplify mechanisms and types of arrhythmia, but he also providesan introduction to electrophysiological principles and catheterablation for arrhythmias.

The basic principles of device functioning and programming arebeautifully and clearly outlined in their respective chapters.... Chapters focusing on anti-arrhythmic agents, with detailson mechanisms, indications, and recently introduced anti-arrhythmicdrugs, including those allowed to be used in pregnancy, as well asarrhythmic problems encountered in athletes, add more to thecomprehensive nature of this book.

This all makes this book a reference for a large variety ofhealth care professionals and a good foundation for those needing abroad and thorough approach to the diagnosis and the mostappropriate management of cardiac arrhythmias." (BritishJournal of Cardiology, 1 March 2014)

"...contains detailed ECG tracings of almost everyvariation of arrhythmias, and combines with detailed descriptionsand clear explanations. It then goes further, with in-depthexplanations of aspects such as antiarrhythmic drugs, cardiacpacing, implantable defibrillators, and catheter ablation. Everystep of the way, this book concentrates on the practical aspects ofarrhythmias by giving advice on identification and treatment, aswell as "what not to do." This book will be of use toall grades from trainee up to consultant.

All in all, I found this book a pleasure to read. It isvery practical, it is very clear, and best of all, it is extremelywell illustrated." (British Journal ofAnaesthesia, 1 March 2014)

"This is an excellent book for clinicians at variouslevels of comfort with electrocardiograms and telemetry, given thatit starts with basic overviews of broad categories followed bydetailed descriptions of individual arrhythmiasence." (Doody's, 16 September 2013)
