here are many excellent textbooks that exist in the area of implantable devices for arrhythmia control. Few textbooks, however, provide a case study approach. Collectively, these workbooks provide an approach to problem solving an electrocardiographic interpretation for patients with permanent pacemakers and defibrillators.olume 1 addresses patients with permanent pacemakersolume 2 examines interactions between pacemakers and implantable defibrillatorsolume 3 provides case studies of transtelephonic pacemakers electrocardiographyolume 4 provides more pacemaker and implantable defibrillator troubleshooting casesrs. Hayes and Wang wrote this newest addition to acknowledge a simple fact: though modern implantable devices are relatively automatic in their functioning, their more sophisticated designs require a corresponding increase in the level of training of healthcare professionals responsible for following the devices. Accordingly, ICDs and Pacemakers achieves the dual goal of presenting more pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) troubleshooting cases, while also providing practical examples of problems that are encountered daily in follow-up centers.linical cardiologists, electrophysiologists, EP technicians, fellows and nurses will find this workbook to be a clinically valuable and helpful resource in the day to day care of patients with implantable devices.
