Following the huge success of previous editions, "Electrophysiological Testing 4th edition" is the must-have resource for students, residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians because it:

clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias
discusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology keeping you completely up to date
provides clear summaries of complex topics
is written in a user-friendly and understandable writing style to make the information easy to digest and recall
includes an entirely new chapter on the key field of Cardiac Resynchronisation

One of the book's major strengths is the author's ability to summarize a great deal of detailed information and present it in a very understandable and user-friendly way. The approach results in a book that is as useful to an EP technician, who deals with these issues on a daily basis, as it is to residents, PAs, nurses and primary healthcare providers, who require only a quick and basic introduction to cardiac electrophysiology. New to the fourth edition are updates in the field and extensively updated chapters on: Evaluation and Treatment of Bradyarrhythmias Evaluation and Treatment of Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmias Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Transcatheter AblationReviewer comments: "I think the prime audience for this book is anyone who wishes to learn more about what goes on during an EP study. It is written basic enough that anyone wanting information can understand it. However it is also written in a style that keeps the interest of a person that has understanding of EP. Many times I have found that EP literature is very tied to research results and bogs down the primary topic and makes it difficult to understand. This book explains EP in plain English!;I think it is in a class by itself."- EP Technician, Galichia Heart Hospital, Wichita, KS "It gives a good understanding of EP without getting to technical and complex in the explanations. It accomplishes a major task of "demystifying" the field of EP. It not only addresses the needs of non technical EP Personnel, but also provides a precise overview of EP for general review. Although there have been great advances in the field of EP, the book does extremely well in covering the true basics of the EP field." - Cardiac NP, St. Jude's Medical Center
