Description

Heart Rhythm Device Follow-Up, building on roughly 150 pages of case studies included in the successful Cardiac Device and Basic EP Self-Assessment, has over 300 pages of new material, including new case studies. In addition, there are more didactic sections on pacing, especially "Timing Cycles." This title does not include a section on EP, but may be used as a resource by those studying for the NASPExAM®.

Preface

This book is neither authoritative nor exhaustive in its treatment of arrhythmia technologies, but it does provide a wealth of clinically relevant material and case studies. We could have created cleaner, more visually attractive ECGs and telemetries using simulators, but most of the ECGs and telemetries are "real world" where recordings are not always clear and free of artifact.

The book is intended to serve two basic purposes: the first purpose is to provide a self-evaluation of practical comprehension of cardiac device function and analysis. We have included over 100 case studies with questions, answers, discussion and references to provide an overview of what is frequently encountered in the clinical arena of these disciplines in Volume II: Case Studies. We have also included a practice paced ECG section with detailed annotated interpretation in this, Volume I, of our book. The material is designed to be helpful in pinpointing strengths and weaknesses in the user's grasp of the material and to provide a realistic overview of typical clinical experience.

The second purpose is to provide a practical and educational guide to assist in conducting effective device follow-up. We have included materials and didactic chapters which have found to be particularly useful in our own follow-up clinics and training programs. The many and often confusing abbreviations and acronyms commonly encountered have also been added.

We have also included an expanded overview and didactic section on ICD detection enhancements.

In summary, our desire is to publish a book that is unique in its practicality to the clinician in terms of self-assessment and follow-up and its applicability to the cardiac device clinicians.

The authors would welcome submission of new case studies for consideration and publication in a future edition.


Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume I

Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume I is written for both the novice and veteran in the cardiac rhythm management field. The book builds on a solid foundation of device basics, taking the reader through understanding how the basic timing cycles of a device function to ultimately using them to perform complex device troubleshooting procedures. In this fast paced field of rapidly expanding indications, algorithms, and therapies, it is helpful to go back to the basics. Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume I covers such foundational topics as:

  • Dual chamber timing cycles
  • Atrial and ventricular based timing
  • 4 faces of DDD timing
  • Capture / Fusion / Pseudofusion
  • Electromagnetic interference
  • Single and dual chamber paced rhythm interpretation
  • Patient follow-up

This book would be very helpful as a foundational level textbook for an introductory course in cardiac device follow-up or as a supplementary text for the cardiac device professional preparing for a competency exam, particularly when used with its companion - Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume II: Case Studies.

Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume II: Case Studies

Over 115 case studies with questions in a multiple choice format, complete with answers and discussions, Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume II: Case Studies makes a great self assessment and examination prep tool. Case studies include pacemaker, ICD, and CRT devices. This is the definitive workbook companion for Heart Rhythm Device Follow-up Volume I.
