The fully updated trusted clinical guide to pacemakers, ICDs, and CRTs Now in its Eighth Edition, Cardiac Pacing and ICDs remains an essential clinically focused guide to cardiac implantable electronic devices. Authored by Kenneth A. Ellenbogen, a past President of the Heart Rhythm Society, and Karoly Kaszala, Director of Electrophysiology at the McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia, this edition is comprehensively updated to reflect current best practices and the latest research in cardiac pacing and defibrillation therapy. Chapters proceed from pacing basics and indications through initial patient presentation, device implantation, troubleshooting, and long-term follow-up, mirroring the clinician's workflow. A larger format improves the viewing of images and flowcharts, as well as tables, charts, and figures. The book covers: Tips and techniques for implantation and removal of devices and left ventricular leadsPacemaker timing cycles, special features, and practical diagnostic approaches to device malfunctionsICD therapy and cardiac resynchronization therapy, including patient selection, programming, and follow-upMRI safety protocols and structured approaches to remote monitoring and long-term device managementIndications for both temporary and permanent pacing presented alongside current evidence and updated clinical guidelinesDesigned for clinical cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiology fellows, EP nurses, device technicians, and industry professionals, Cardiac Pacing and ICDs delivers the practical, patient-centric guidance needed to confidently manage cardiac implantable electronic devices from implantation through long-term follow-up.
