Margaret Lloyd's fourth collection of original poetry, presented in subtle style, leads the reader to the secretmost thoughts and emotions of the female characters in The Four Branches of the Mabinogi.
Consisting of 13 chapters, this book is uniformly written by Dr. Hayes and his colleagues Drs. Lloyd and Friedman to provide sensible, matte r-of-fact methods for understanding and caring for patients with perma nent pacemakers and ICDs. It presents a logical progression from descr iptions of device indications to selection of the most appropriate mod e and hardware. From there, it proceeds to device implantation and sub sequent management, with detailed sections on troubleshooting, complic ations, and follow-up. Not intended as an encyclopedic text, this book offers a large amount of information in an easily digestible form.
