Electrophysiology : the basics : a companion guide for the cardiology fellow during the EP rotation

Geared to cardiology fellows in electrophysiology rotations, **Electrophysiology: The Basics** provides very specific information based on the outline that specifies what content must be covered in training programs. This pocket guide is authored by prominent electrophysiology instructors and is very practical, discussing the cases the trainee will be seeing. Advanced information is presented in an accessible format; traditional didactic text is combined with bulleted lists and limited, but seminal references. This book will appeal to all cardiology fellows, residents, physicians interested in recertification, medical students, nurses in the electrophysiology lab, and the arrhythmia/device clinic.

Reviewer:Yabiz Sedghi, MD(Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description:This is a practical, hands-on guide for cardiology fellows during their electrophysiology rotations.
Purpose:Written by experts in the field, the book endeavors to explain the basics of interpreting complex electrophysiological patterns, catheter ablation, and device implantation. The focus is on providing a basic understanding of arrhythmic mechanisms, their clinical presentation and appropriate referral to the electrophysiology specialist.
Audience:Although geared mainly for cardiology fellows, the book can be a useful resource for nurses and staff working in the electrophysiology setting. It is a designed as a reference for physicians pursuing a career in general cardiology or one of the nonelectrophysiology specialties. Topics are derived from general cardiology fellowship training requirements in the U.S.
Features:The book is well organized into sections that include the evaluation and management of arrhythmias and the role of the electrophysiology laboratory, as well as the pacemaker and defibrillator clinic. Key topics include indications and limitations of electrophysiology testing and principles of mapping and ablation. Each chapter is adequately illustrated and includes a summary of essential points.
Assessment:This concise, pocket-sized guide serves as a useful introduction to the electrophysiology laboratory.

"Fully revised and updated, the second edition of Electrophysiology: The Basics remains a trusted, practical reference for those who are learning the foundational concepts of electrophysiology. A clear, non-technical style, a new full-color format, and heavily updated content make this an ideal reference not only for cardiology fellows in EP rotations, but also for residents, nurses, medical students, physicians reviewing for recertification, and staff in the arrhythmia/cardiac device clinic. Key Features: * Thoroughly updated to keep you current with recent advances in atrial arrhythmias, syncope, indications for cardiac rhythm management devices, and much more. * Closely follows the specific content recommended for EP training programs. * Enhanced with a new, full-color format to help you navigate the content and study more efficiently. * Key references are provided for those who wish to expand their knowledge with foundational literature in EP. * Authored by international experts in electrophysiology education." -- from back of book.
