Cardiac Pacemakers Step by Step:
An Illustrated Guide
By: S. Serge Barold, Professor of Medicine, University of South Florida College of Medicine and J.A. Haley VA Medical Center, Tampa, Florida
Roland Stroobandt, Associate Professor of Cardiology, University Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; Head, Department of Cardiology, AZ Damiaan Hospital, Oostende, Belgium
Alfons Sinnaeve, Professor Emeritus of Electronic Engineering, Technical University KHBO, Department of Electronics, Oostende
At present there is no accessible text on the basics of cardiac pacing for nurses, first year cardiology fellows, technicians, medical students, pacemaker manufacturers and other true beginners seeking a grounding in the discipline. This text assumes knowledge of the essentials of electrocardiography, yet outlines the principles of cardiac pacing from the very beginning.
Illustrating each key concept with clear diagrams, professionally prepared in full colour, the authors provide a comprehensible, step-by-step introduction which will have unique value as a teaching aid. Drs. Serge Barold, Roland Stroobant and Fons Sinnaeve have brought their extensive experience in cardiac pacing to bear in producing a volume which will be the first port of call for all non-specialists contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiac pacemakers.
