Electrophysiology of Arrhythmias: Practical Images for Diagnosis and Ablation 

by Reginald T. Ho MD (Author)

The field of electrophysiology has grown tremendously over the years and has become an essential part of modern cardiology. With an array of techniques and interventions, electrophysiologists are now able to diagnose and treat cardiac arrhythmias more accurately and efficiently. In his book, “Diagnosis and Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias,” Reginald T. Ho MD provides a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory.

The book is organized in a systematic way, with each chapter focusing on a specific arrhythmia. The book starts with an overview of basic electrophysiology principles and an explanation of the tools and techniques used in the electrophysiology lab. From there, the book delves into the diagnosis and ablation of specific arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia.

One of the most helpful aspects of the book is the atlas of electrophysiologic recordings that accompanies each chapter. The illustrations provide a clear visualization of all the key aspects of the arrhythmia, including its electrophysiologic features, mode of induction and termination, response to diagnostic pacing maneuvers, classic presentations, unusual manifestations, mapping techniques, and target site criteria for ablation. The comprehensive collection of fluoroscopic images, intracardiac recordings, and electroanatomic maps greatly enhances the reader’s understanding of the material.

What sets “Diagnosis and Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias” apart from other books on the subject is Dr. Ho’s engaging writing style. He manages to convey complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, and his enthusiasm for the subject matter is infectious. The book is not only educational but also inspiring, and readers will finish each chapter feeling excited about the potential impact of electrophysiology on patient care.

The book is also incredibly practical. Each chapter presents a systematic discussion of diagnostic and ablation criteria, providing clinicians with an invaluable resource for making accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions. The book is concise but complete, covering all the essential topics without overwhelming the reader with unnecessary detail.

“Diagnosis and Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias” is a must-read for electrophysiologists, cardiology fellows, and any clinician interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in the field of electrophysiology. At 384 pages, the eBook is the perfect length to dive deep into the topic without feeling like an overwhelming read. The publisher, LWW, produced an edition that was released on August 26, 2009.

In conclusion, “Diagnosis and Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias” is an excellent resource for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of electrophysiology diagnosis and treatment. The book is well-written, packed with helpful illustrations, and an essential tool for any clinician working in this exciting area of cardiology. It is perfect for readers who want to learn and become more familiar with electrophysiology principles and techniques without compromising on sophisticated medical jargon.
