ANATOMY FOR CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGISTS. A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK

DESCRIPTION

This highly visual handbook integrates cardiac anatomy andthe state-of-the-art imaging techniques used in today's catheter orelectrophysiology laboratory, guiding readers to a comprehensive understandingof both normal cardiac anatomy and the structures associated with complex heartdisease. 

Well organized, easily navigable, and superbly illustrated in a landscapeformat, this unique text invites the reader on a visual intracardiac journeyvia stunning images and schematic illustrations, including such imagingmodalities as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound,radiography, and 3D mapping. Each chapter couples the electrophysiologyperspective with detailed descriptions of the anatomic features relevant to awide variety of arrhythmias, including:

Supraventricular tachycardias
Atrial fibrillation
Ventricular arrhythmias

With an overview of general cardiac anatomy, congenital malformations, standardcatheter positioning, and potential pitfalls, Anatomy for CardiacElectrophysiologists provides a solid foundation and quick reference fortrainees as they prepare for the realities of the catheter laboratory as wellas an excellent refresher for experienced operators.

The anatomic figures that are provided arespectacular....This gem of a book stands alone as a brilliant starting point tomeld interventional techniques such as ablation with the intricacies of cardiacanatomy.I highly recommend this eminently readable and superb contribution notonly to the beginning trainee in cardiac electrophysiology but also to my moreexperienced colleagues.
