Cardiac Pacemakers Step-by-Step

More about the book

Over the years, many have expressed the need for a straightforward book on cardiac pacing for beginners, citing that existing literature is often too complex. There has been a desire for a resource akin to Dubin’s bestselling book on basic electrocardiography, which has sold over a million copies in various languages. A simplified guide to cardiac pacing would be beneficial for nurses, cardiology technicians, medical students, and pacemaker companies for staff training. The authors assume the reader has a foundational understanding of electrocardiography, as presented in Dubin’s work, but lacks knowledge of cardiac pacing. They have analyzed Dubin’s teaching approach and believe they have enhanced it. The book features numbered illustrations that visually explain concepts through professionally drawn diagrams, ensuring simplicity for easy understanding. Each illustration occupies a full page, accompanied by concise explanatory text below. The use of color throughout the illustrations is a distinctive feature. The three authors bring extensive experience to the table. Dr. Barold has published ten books on cardiac pacing and contributed to the cardiac pacing sections in the 4th and 5th Editions of Braunwald’s "Heart Disease."
