35 Medicine Cardiac Devices A Hands-on Guide to Procedures and Programming Amin Al-Ahmad, Andrea Natale & Paul J. Wang Stanford University Medical Center EP clinicians are seeing an increasing number of patients who require a pacemaker or other device to correct a rhythmic abnormality. At the same time, devices are becoming both more effective and more sophisticated. Those new to the use of today’s devices often find them extremely challenging to program; there are many potential pitfalls along the way as well as complications that can arise and which require a swift and precise response. Adding to these challenges, much of the information that less-experienced EP clinicians require in order to master the implementation and management of devices must be gathered from textbooks of cobbled together from journal articles. This new book, edited by a team of leading clinician-educators, distils device bestpractices into a single volume that focuses on essential tasks, common pitfalls and likely Cardiac Devices complications. Each chapter is written using a practical, hands-on, how-to-do-it approach that will help readers quickly master even the most challenging device-related tasks, such as programming hybrid pacing/defibrillation devices, and respond confidently when complications arise. Hands-on Devices: an Expert Guide features 300 images, including ECGs, X-ray and fluoroscopy, images from device interrogation, color electroanatomical maps, and more.
