Electrophysiology of Arrhythmias: Practical Images for Diagnosis and Ablation, 2nd Edition

By Reginald T. Ho MD
This practical guide to the diagnosis and ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory is an indispensable resource for electrophysiologists and general cardiologists. It contains an extensive, unmatched collection of intracardiac recordings, fluoroscopic and ICE images, and 3D color-coded electroanatomic maps (EAMs), making it the premier electrophysiology reference for gaining a better understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. Each chapter focuses on a specific arrhythmia and presents a systematic discussion of diagnostic and ablation criteria, followed by an atlas of electrophysiologic recordings. These illustrations demonstrate all key aspects of the arrhythmia: electrophysiologic features, mode of induction and termination, response to diagnostic pacing maneuvers, classic presentations, unusual manifestations, mapping techniques, and target site criteria for ablation.

As medical technology advances, the understanding of cardiac arrhythmias becomes increasingly essential. In the field of cardiology, the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias involve intricate procedures that require high-level expertise. Therefore, it is crucial to have a reliable resource that guides physicians through diagnosing and managing complex arrhythmias.

The second edition of Practical Guide to Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias by Reginald T. Ho MD is an indispensable resource for electrophysiologists and general cardiologists. This comprehensive guide presents an extensive collection of intracardiac recordings, fluoroscopic and ICE images, and 3D color-coded electroanatomic maps (EAMs) for understanding cardiac arrhythmias.

Each chapter of this guide focuses on a specific arrhythmia and provides a systematic discussion of diagnostic and ablation criteria, followed by an atlas of electrophysiologic recordings. The illustrations demonstrate all aspects of arrhythmias, including 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 book is extensively updated throughout, with revised text and references, a new full-color format, and an increased number of high-quality illustrations that provide a better understanding of each arrhythmia. Four new chapters cover Intracardiac Echocardiography, Transeptal Catheterization, Long RP Tachycardias, and Unusual Electrophysiologic Phenomena keep you up to date with new and fascinating areas in the field. The extensive use of ICE provides a clear understanding of the location of specific cardiac structures responsible for arrhythmias.

One of the impressive aspects of the guide is how it pairs 12-lead EKG’s with corresponding intra-cardiac recordings; intra-cardiac recordings with corresponding electroanatomic maps (EAMs); and each EAM with corresponding fluoroscopy, intracardiac echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, providing a rich collection of detailed tracings. This comprehensive approach makes Practical Guide to Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias the premier electrophysiology reference for gaining a better understanding of cardiac arrhythmias.

The language used to describe the procedures and concepts is technical and scientific, making it relevant for medical professionals. However, the book does an excellent job of explaining the concepts and procedures in-depth, making it accessible for residents or fellows in a clinical cardiology program.

Overall, Practical Guide to Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias provides an extensive resource for understanding the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory. The color-coded electroanatomic maps and intracardiac recording images make it easier to understand the physiology and pathology of cardiac arrhythmias. This second edition is a vast improvement, with updated material and new chapters that make it a must-have reference for electrophysiologists and general cardiologists alike.

Ordering Practical Guide to Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias can be a vital investment for medical professionals looking to increase their understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. The book’s thorough approach gives physicians a valuable resource to diagnose and treat patients with complex cardiac arrhythmias. The book is available in a digital format of 584 pages, making it more accessible and convenient for readers. LWW publishing house has produced another excellent guide that deserves a place in any clinical library.
