L'obiettivo di questo Atlante è quello di descrivere le modalità di esecuzione e di interpretazione delle principali manovre di stimolazione che possono rendere più sicura la diagnosi di un'aritmia e di conseguenza il suo trattamento. Infatti l'avvento dei sistemi di mappaggio elettroanatomico ha portato ad una grande rivoluzione nell'ambito del trattamento ablativo delle aritmie complesse, ma, in alcuni casi, queste tecnologie non sono in grado di risolvere tutti i quesiti. In questi casi solamente l'ausilio di un approccio classico può condurre alla diagnosi e all'interruzione dell'aritmia, riducendo così al minimo i rischi per il paziente.

Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual is the first comprehensive guide to the electrical activity of biological cells and tissues and the techniques of electrophysiology. Through a case-based discussion of patients with arrhythmias, the book illustrates the various contemporary techniques for diagnosis, imaging, and physiology-based therapeutic ablation. Section one addresses the basics of electrophysiology, including device placement, recording, measurement, diagnosis, imaging, amperometry, and physiology-based therapeutic ablation, helping the reader appreciate and more fully understand the complexity and lessons of the emergent specialty. The second section is a case-based discussion of adult and pediatric arrhythmias broken down into twenty patient case studies, intended to help the student and clinician apply their understanding of electrophysiology to real presentations and think about how to plan and execute invasive study and ablation. Each of the twenty case chapters features a question and answer section in order to aid study and retention of material. Replete with full-page color images of intracardiac electrograms, fluoroscopic images, ultrasound images, advanced mapping, and correlated anatomic dissection, Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual is the first focused exploration of the topic and is specifically designed to help both students and practitioners understand and integrate techniques into their daily practice. At present, clinicians have had to piece together information on electrophysiology from a variety of sources, often leaving gaps in knowledge. Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual provides the clinician with a single authoritative guide and quick reference. Through in-depth analysis of electrophysiological techniques and an understanding of the anatomic and physiological basis for present day mapping, image integration, and ablation, this volume is an indispensable resource for students, practicing physicians, researchers, and experts in electrophysiology.

The new edition of "Electrophysiological Disorders of the Heart" helps you diagnose and treat a full range of heart rhythm disorders using today's latest technologies and therapies. It provides practical, hands-on coverage of hot topics such as pediatric EP, imaging, echocardiography-guided EP procedures, regenerative therapies, cardiac pacing, and more. Now available in a new full-color format, the title also includes easy online access.

This book translates fundamental knowledge in basic cardiac electrophysiology from the bench to the bedside. Revised and updated for its second edition, the text offers new coverage of the molecular mechanisms of ion channel behavior and its regulation, complex arrhythmias, and the broadening roles of devices and ablation. Clear, straightforward explanations are illustrated by plentiful diagrams to make the material accessible to the non-specialist.

A highly detailed but user-friendly guide to the CARTO cardiac imaging system. With explanation of basic principles and pitfalls of the mapping procedure, major sections of the book deal with the use of the CARTO system in individual arrhythmias - a review of published data is presented together with a recommended strategy for mapping and ablation. All sections are supported by images in order to facilitate the learning process, and 'tips and tricks' sections are used throughout to pass on the authors' exhaustive knowledge of the system and its applications.

"Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology" is a collection of short biographies of scientists and physicians who have played (or still play) a significant role in improving diagnosis and therapy of heart rhythm disturbances including electrophysiology and pacing. Altogether, approximately 250 remarkable individuals are described. Not only is the book filled with biographies of past pioneers of rhythmology, some of whom lived long ago, but it also includes many contemporary rhythmologists. In addition to these biographies, it contains: an extensive table of the History of the Disorders of Cardiac Rhythm from the 16th to the 20th century; a series of historical pages developed by the author for every issue of the "Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology" ("JICE") and reflecting eminent personalities or events in medicine; and a glossary of arrhythmias, electrophysiology and pacing.

The field's foremost authorities offer guidance on the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers for the management of congestive heart failure. They explain how these devices work; examine the patient-and device-selection process; review implant techniques; and outline aftercare. This concise resource makes this complex subject easy to understand.

This thoroughly updated Second Edition is a comprehensive, practical guide to all current techniques and procedural aspects of interventional electrophysiology. A leading international group of experts describes in depth the procedures and techniques, the rationale for their use, and the available alternatives. Complementing the text are more than 600 illustrations, including spatially oriented 'how-to' line drawings, radiographs, and conceptual diagrams. This edition features an extensively updated program of illustrations and includes the latest information on dual chamber defibrillators, atrial defibrillators and ablation techniques, and ablation and catheters.

Cardiac Electrophysiology and Catheter Ablation is the first handbook-sized practical training guide for medical, technical and industry personnel needing easily accessible, detailed information on the theory and practice of modern invasive investigation and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Highly illustrated throughout, it both simplifies and clarifies the basic electrophysiological principles of many arrhythmias, as well as providing practical advice on performing catheter ablation in patients with a variety of arrhythmias. The step-by-step guidance provided is designed to facilitate the use of the book for real-life scenarios in the catheter laboratory and to demystify this traditionally inaccessible field for the wider cardiology community.
