Introduction

The Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Handbook, Second Edition, is a concise presentation in outline format of the practical information needed to understand the subtleties of cardiac electrophysiology. The Handbook focuses on the “how-to” management of arrhythmias, along with an understanding of the “why”.

... a quick source for information in the EP lab or on the wards offering the ability to quickly review the essential components before a case or to reinforce new notions and practices encountered during a case. — From the Preface

Fully illustrated with more than 250 figures and tables. Equally valuable to the cardiology fellow on their electrophysiology rotation, or an EP fellow or technologist working in the EP lab.
