Practical Electrophysiology, Second Edition was written by Todd Cohen, MD, the Director of Electrophysiology and the Pacemaker/Arrhythmia Center at Winthrop-University Hospital in New York. Dr. Cohen has a national reputation as one of the leading experts on arrhythmia treatment.

Practical Electrophysiology, Second Edition is published by HMP Communications, a publisher of cardiology journals such as EP Lab Digest, Cath Lab Digest, The Journal of Invasive Cardiology, and Vascular Disease Management.

New in Practical Electrophysiology, Second Edition:

* Updated guidelines for implantable devices and AF ablation
* New BLS/ACLS review chapter
* The latest tools, devices, and techniques
* Three sample quizzes to test yourself
* New lead extraction chapter
* And much more!

"Practical Electrophysiology, Second Edition provides a unique overview of this dynamic field. It is geared specifically towards associated professionals (EP lab staff, vendors, engineers), as well as internists, family practitioners, cardiologists, and cardiology fellows. I hope you enjoy it."

� Todd J. Cohen, MD

"This book is important in that it not only describes the nuts and bolts of working in an electrophysiology lab, but also is an excellent review of all electrophysiology."

� Melvin M. Scheinman, MD

"The book Practical Electrophysiology, Second Edition by Todd Cohen, MD provides a comprehensive guide for individuals interested in or practicing in the specialty of arrhythmia management."
