This essential reference will assist electrophysiologists, fellows in training, and all those involved in the mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary Vein Recordings is extensively illustrated with annotated multichannel tracings to facilitate the understanding of complex data obtained by circumferential mapping, leading to successful pulmonary vein isolation. This updated edition incorporates carefully chosen tracings to convey important practical points and useful tips. From the Foreword:Atrial fibrillation ablation is rapidly becoming one of the most frequently performed catheter-based electrophysiology procedures. Since the first edition of this book was published, new ablation strategies have been developed, and new energy sources and energy delivery platforms are available to the interventional electrophysiologist.Regardless of the actual ablation strategy or modality employed, circumferential mapping of electrical signals within pulmonary veins provides us with a key to interpret the complex and somewhat surprising conduction properties and arrhythmias encountered during atrial fibrillation mapping. This source of arrhythmia can then be abolished in a logical fashion, with a clearly defined endpoint.This book is a practical guide to catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and includes numerous examples that interpret the complex data obtained by circumferential mapping. -- Michel Haissaguerre Table of Contents: Abbreviations Recording settings Endpoint for PV isolation: Disconnection Circular mapping catheter electrodes LSPV mapping LSPV Case #1 LSPV Case #2 LSPV Case #3 LIPV mapping RSPV mapping RSPV ablation during AF RIPV mapping Ectopy mapping AF Initiation mapping LSPV mapping after mitral isthmus line Dormant PV conduction Entry vs exit PV block Conduction between RSPV and RIPV SVC mapping IVC mapping Persistent Left SVC mapping

This text is principally intended to be used by students and teachers of echocardiography, although it is anticipated that all Echo practices will find it to be a useful educational guide and resource.Chapters cover the basic principles of ultrasound imaging and Doppler techniques as well as the echocardiographic examination, with respect to standard echocardiographic images and views, image optimisation and echocardiographic measurements. Precise details of measurement techniques and their limitations are included. Numerous “Practical Examples” are also incorporated to illustrate the clinical application of various echocardiographic calculations along with additional “Technical Tips” showing examples of common measurement errors and ways to avoid them. Key points are emphasised in numerous information panels scattered throughout the text.Since the release of the first edition of "Echocardiography: The Normal Examination and Echocardiographic Measurements" more than 16 years ago, the popularity of this title has risen to see it become a core text for schools and students of echocardiography worldwide. It can also be found in many echocardiographic laboratories where it is used as a reference tool and in the ongoing training and development of cardiac sonographers and registrars.The basic structure of this third edition remains essentially the same as the earlier editions with chapter themes and topics remaining unchanged, although reference values and other essential information have been updated. New images, extra tips and clinical examples have also been added, which are all aimed at furthering the reader's understanding of this fascinating field.Real-time images which correspond to figures in the book will be made available on www.echotext.info.

The field of catheter ablation continues to advance with innovations in technology and a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of arrhythmias. This comprehensive and unique book gives an inside look at leading electrophysiology labs throughout the world and provides the reader with practical knowledge and tips for ablation procedures directly from the experts themselves. Each chapter highlights the practical knowledge of the expert author with a specific procedure. "Hands-on" detail that helps translate new ideas and innovations into practice for the most state-of-the-art patient care. In-depth "how-to" approaches are described for over 50 procedures, including ablations for supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. A valuable reference for every electrophysiology lab to help differentiate diagnostic challenges. Fully illustrated with over 165 videos and 475 figures. Purchase of book includes online access to full text and videos.

Hands-On Ablation: The Experts' Approach

Administration & Medicine Economics

This book is for any individual who sees patients with implantable devices, or who will be taking an examination related to device management. Many caregivers working in the field of medicine find that one of the best ways to learn is by working through clinical cases and for many individuals it s even more helpful to work through the examples as unknowns. This is especially true in the arena of implantable cardiac devices, that is, devices for the management of congestive heart failure. In an effort to provide this experience, experts from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, have produced two volumes of case studies that encompass variations of normal and abnormal function of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices. The texts have been written collaboratively by 5 clinicians with differing backgrounds in an effort to present the cases in such a way that they are applicable to a variety of caregivers. Cases for this book were selected based on clinical relevance, and their usefulness for illustrating general principles, practical tips, or interesting findings in device practice, with a goal of advancing general concepts in device management. The first volume includes introductory and intermediate level difficulty cases. The second volume includes additional intermediate cases as well as advanced/multipart cases. Electronic versions of this book will be made available with additional features to facilitate navigation of the clinical material.

Strategies for ECG Arrhythmia Diagnosis: Breaking Down Complexity

"The ECG remains the cornerstone of arrhythmia diagnosis, even after an explosion of technology and rapid expansion of our understanding of arrhythmia mechanisms. While many traditional textbooks emphasize cataloguing arrhythmias and pattern recognition, this book by internationally recognized professor George J. Klein, MD, presents a universally applicable systematic approach to ECG arrhythmia diagnosis based on careful measurement and identification of key events and exploring their expected electrophysiological underpinnings. There is fundamentally no difference in the principles and strategies behind understanding the ECG and intracardiac tracings both are absolutely complementary. - Over 90 case studies with tracings in full landscape format are used to highlight important principles, with each case providing an important diagnostic tip or teaching point. - A multiple-choice question is provided with each tracing not only to frame the problem for the reader but to provide some practice and strategies for answering cardiology board examination-type questions. - An important book that paves the way to understanding ECGs when preparing for board or certification exams. The book is meant for serious students of arrhythmias, be they cardiology or electrophysiology trainees or established physicians."
