When you need to know how to order, perform and evaluate core EP tests and optimize patient care, turn to the one, updated resource you can count on for clear and accessible guidance: Electrophysiologic Testing, 5th Edition. Electrophysiological Testing has become the most trusted resource for those learning or mastering EP testing, from students, nurse and technicians to residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians and cardiologists. Dr Fogoros's singular approach clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias and provides clear, easy-to-understand summaries of complex topics. The result is a book that provides just what you need - not more - to successfully test for abnormal heart rhythms using today's most common devices and techniques.What's new?Completely revised to update the data from recent randomized trials on ablation, ICDs and CRT Expanded information on the CARTO system A chapter on dysautomia Plus an all-new section of self-assessment questions to help you master essential concepts and test your recall of key information Content: Chapter 1 The Cardiac Electrical System (pages 1-12): Chapter 2 Abnormal Heart Rhythms (pages 13-22): Chapter 3 Treatment of Arrhythmias (pages 23-33): Chapter 4 Principles of the Electrophysiology Study (pages 35-59): Chapter 5 The Electrophysiology Study in the Evaluation of Bradycardia: The SA Node, AV Node, and His-Purkinje System (pages 60-101): Chapter 6 The Electrophysiology Study in the Evaluation of Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias (pages 102-159): Chapter 7 The Electrophysiology Study in the Evaluation and Treatment of Ventricular Arrhythmias (pages 160-209): Chapter 8 Transcatheter Ablation: Therapeutic Electrophysiology (pages 210-257): Chapter 9 Cardiac Resynchronization: Pacing Therapy for Heart Failure (pages 258-272): Chapter 10 The Evaluation of Syncope (pages 273-284): Chapter 11 Electrophysiologists and Dysautonomia (pages 285-298): Chapter 12 Electrophysiologic Testing in Perspective: The Evaluation and Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias (pages 299-309):
