this Book On Cardiac Electrophysiological Mapping Covers Various Aspects Of Cardiac Mapping From The History To New Technological Developments. The Contributors Are Experts In The Field; Many Of Them, In Fact, Are World-renowned. The Purpose Is To Provide Current Information On Cardiac Electrophysiological Mapping. The Editorial Comments By Various Experts Are Meant To Give A General State-of-the-art Overview And Possibly To Generate New Ideas For Future Development. The Audience Is Not Clearly Stated. However, Because Of The Complexities Of This Field, I Believe That The Target Audience Should Be Basic And Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologists. The Contributors Are The Biggest Strength Of This Book. The Pictures Are Excellent; Some Of Them Are Even In Color. The References Are Pertinent And Current. This Is An Excellent Book On Cardiac Mapping. I Highly Recommend It To Basic And Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologists.
"Since the publication of the second edition of Cardiac Mapping, substantial achievements and breakthroughs have been made in the field of interventional electrophysiology and imaging technologies. Today mapping technology is no longer an investigational research tool, rather an essential part of the clinical electrophysiology laboratory. Mapping of complex arrhythmias such as atrial and ventricular fibrillation is emerging as a new era in the management of the arrhythmias." "This thoroughly updated third edition focuses on new developments in the field as mapping of complex arrhythmias, navigation systems, and image integration, with information on the strengths and limitations of each mapping technology. New to this edition is the inclusion of a CD-ROM illustrating real time data from actual cases. Cardiac Mapping remains an integral part of the science and practice of complex rhythm management, and a central resource for the interventional electrophysiologist, rhythmologist and all those interested in understanding the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias."--Jacket
