There are millions of pacemaker patients in the world and this number is increasing. It is not unusual for these patients to be cared for by clinicians with no formal training in cardiac rhythm management devices. While there are many excellent pacing and defibrillation books, they are nearly all written by physicians for physicians. The "Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing" is written specifically for non-cardiologists in a lively, intelligent and easy to follow style. It emphasizes real-life clinical practice and practical tips, including illustrations from actual clinical settings. Each chapter concludes with a checklist of key points from each subject ("Nuts and Bolts").Building layer by layer on the fundamental principles and concluding with advanced concepts, "The Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing" is intended for a novice to appreciate overall concepts and for a seasoned veteran to turn to answer a specific question. This book offers practical, reliable and objective information on cardiac devices - it's easy to pick up, find what you need, and put down.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book is clearly laid out and well written. The text is divided into digestible chapters-ranging from indications to more complex aspects such as troubleshooting and sensitivity. The illustrations are of excellent quality and supplement the text well. I recommend this text to any health professionals who wish to increase their knowledge on cardiac pacing." - British Journal of Cardiac Nursing - June 2007
