About the Book

This practical and concise guide provides a complete framework for understanding, diagnosing, and treating a wide spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias. Designed as a portable and highly accessible handbook, it focuses on the essentials of clinical electrophysiology, including when and how to perform electrophysiology studies, principles of ablation, and other invasive therapeutic interventions.

The book emphasizes a consistent, clear decision-making process for rhythm disturbances such as supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardias, and other irregular heartbeats. Readers gain in-depth insights into cardiac anatomy, clinical indications, procedural methodology, and common complications encountered during electrophysiology procedures.

With more than 180 illustrations—including electrophysiology recordings, ECGs, radiographic images, anatomical diagrams, and electroanatomic maps—this handbook simplifies complex clinical concepts and enhances understanding. It is enriched with expert guidance from world-renowned cardiac electrophysiologists Dr. Demosthenes G Katritsis and Dr. Fred Morady, along with contributions from a global team of cardiologists and electrophysiology fellows.

Ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners, it also complements Dr. Douglas Zipes' authoritative textbook Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside. The included enhanced eBook version provides full access to all content across digital devices.
