The Fifth Decade of Cardiac Pacing

By S. Serge Barold and Jacques Mugica

This title aims to bring into focus the major advances in cardiac pacing over the last few years, constituting a resource to update all those involved in the care of patients with implanted devices. The team of internationally respected contributors place particular emphasis on new techniques for the treatment of congestive heart failure. Advances in pacemaker technology are covered extensively, with a focus on the technical and clinical aspects of expanding pacemaker memory, the diagnosis of arrhythmias and pacemaker malfunction, and follow-up of device function. Contributors also discuss more controversial indications for pacing, particularly emphasising atrial fibrillation. Taking account of the new field of implantable cardioverter-defibrillation, and the new skills associated with ICD therapy, the text highlights the interface between pacemaker and defibrillator.
