New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation is the cutting edge book required by pediatric cardiologists and other professionals who encounter arrhythmias in children. Holter ECG examination has recently undergone significant advances in technology, sensors, and software. Yet, these innovations have been considered primarily in the context of adult patients. On the contrary, New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation uses a case-based methodology to illustrate diagnosis and management of actual pediatric patients. Further, it offers guidance in deciding when referrals are necessary for arrhythmological consultations or ablation interventions. This book also contains novel techniques for detecting and interpreting pediatric arrhythmias. These include the introduction of Poincare graphs, Lorenz plots, and other advanced methods for assessing heart rate variability. New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation modernizes readers' understanding of arrhythmias in children, thus improving the young lives of those in their care.Provides an organized structure for analyzing Holter ECG data in childrenReflects the broad spectrum of frequently encountered pediatric arrhythmias, whereas other Holter ECG books are adult-focusedHelps readers develop expertise in analyzing Holter ECGs in children of varying ages quickly and accurately using rigorous case studies

Due to the brief nature of arrhythmias, which may not be seen during the short recording periods of a typical ECG, Holter monitoring enables physicians to make more informed decisions on cardiac patients. This book is a case-by-case instructional exercise on interpreting Holter monitorings in the pediatric setting. The cases illustrate the wide range of pediatric arrhythmias that are most commonly observed. Pediatric cardiologists, pediatricians, and pediatric arrhythmologists will develop the ability to analyze Holter ECGs in children of diverse ages.Key Features: Covers various cardiac conditions, from supraventricular tachycardia, to long QT syndrome and cardiac pacemakersUses real-life examples with patient history to enhance the learning experience of students and medical professionalsTrains professionals to discern arrhythmias from electrical artifacts found during a Holter examination Educates clinicians to determine the appropriate timing for referring a patient for arrhythmogenic consultation or ablation procedures
