This new edition does not disappoint. It provides the reader with a comprehensive, in-depth explanation of most aspects of cardiac pacing. Technological advances in device therapy and results of clinical trials have prompted this revised edition. Cardiac pacing and ICD therapy have developed enormously in recent decades. Both are areas which can be daunting for the novice in this field; both are important aspects of clinical electrophysiology. The intended target audience is specialists in the fields of cardiology and/or electrophysiology.
