Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology is acollection of short biographies of scientists and physicians whohave played (or still play) a significant role in improvingdiagnosis and therapy of heart rhythm disturbances includingelectrophysiology and pacing. Altogether, approximately 250 remarkable individuals aredescribed. Not only is the book filled with biographies of pastpioneers of rhythmology, some of whom lived long ago, but it alsoincludes many contemporary rhythmologists. In addition to these biographies, it contains: An extensive table of the History of the Disorders of CardiacRhythm from the 16th to the 20th century A series of historical pages developed by the author for everyissue of the Journal of Interventional CardiacElectrophysiology (JICE) and reflecting eminent personalitiesor events in medicine A glossary of arrhythmias, electrophysiology and pacing
This second editionis a ground-breaking clinical text with a strong emphasis on rigorous evidence. Leaders in the field discuss best practice in the light of systematic reviews and randomised control trials, and how best to treat where the information is less clear. Case histories provide intriguing discussions on how to apply the evidence in real life situations. Evidence-based Cardiology also includes free access to the latest evidence, which is automatically posted on a companion website.

Syncope is one of the most important causes of transient loss of consciousness, and is such a common event that it may be encountered by practitioners in virtually any field of medicine. As such, a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals may be involved in its assessment and management. Edited by distinguished individuals whose pioneering work in syncope highlights careers devoted to improving patient care, this book provides: • Succinct, practical and up-to-date guidance on the optimal clinical evaluation and treatment of patients with syncope and transient loss of consciousness in a multidisciplinary framework • Evidence-based recommendations founded on comprehensive literature revi...
Today hundreds of thousands of Americans carry pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) within their bodies. These battery-powered machines—small computers, in fact—deliver electricity to the heart to correct dangerous disorders of the heartbeat. But few doctors, patients, or scholars know the history of these devices or how "heart-rhythm management" evolved into a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing and service industry. Machines in Our Hearts tells the story of these two implantable medical devices. Kirk Jeffrey, a historian of science and technology, traces the development of knowledge about the human heartbeat and follows surgeons, cardiologists, and engineers as ...
This monograph presents the most recent experience and in- formation concerning ICD-Therapy: indications, technical as- pects of this new pacemaker generation problems/side- effects, surgical implications; cost-effectiveness- discussion is included.
Proceedings of a congress serve the purpose to provide the reader with the latest know ledge in the specific field. They present at least for a limited time period a reference book that allows rapid access to the latest information for the medical profession and for an ongoing of future research. This volume is addressed not only to the participants of the VIIth World Symposium on Cardiac Pacing but to everybody involved in diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac stimula tion. The experience has shown that proceedings of conferences of comparable size are usually published with a considerable time delay limiting its value as a source of prime informa tion. The editors of this volume decided there...
