The Ehra Book Of Interventional Electrophysiology: Case-based Learning With Multiple Choice Questions Hardcover

Hein Heidbuchel

The EHRA Book of Interventional Electrophysiology is the second official textbook of European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA). Using clinical cases to encourage practical learning, this book assists electrophysiologists and device specialists in tackling both common and unusual situations that they may encounter during daily practice. Richly illustrated, and covering electrophysiological procedures for supra-ventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, the book enables specialists to deepen their understanding of complex concepts and techniques. Tracings, covering supra-ventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, are presented with multiple-choice questions to allow readers to hone their skills for interpreting challenging cases and to prepare for the EHRA certification exam in electrophysiology. Cases include Orthodromic AVRT, PV Isolation, VT ablation, and Atypical left atrial flutter to name a few. The EHRA Book of Interventional Electrophysiology is a wide-ranging, practical case-book, written by leading experts in the field and edited by members of the EHRA education committee: an essential companion for electrophysiologists and trainees alike.

Professor Heidbuchel graduated as MD from the University of Leuven, Belgium, in 1986. He went on to undertake a PhD in Physiology (1992), gained specialist degrees in Internal Medicine (1993) and Cardiology (1995), and a special accreditation in Hospital Administration and Management (2005). He trained as a Resarch Fellow of the NIH at the University of Oklahoma in 1993 and 1994, supported by a Fulbright-Hays grant-in-aid, and was a Fundamental Clinical Investigator of the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders from 1996 to 2006. Professor Heidbuchel worked at the University Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine of the University of Leuven, Belgium, between 1994 and 2014. In 2014 he moved to the Heart Center of the Jessa Hospital and Hasselt University, Belgium. Professor Duytschaever became professor in electrophysiology at the University of Ghent in 2003. Since 2006, he has been conducting diagnostic and interventional electrophysiology at the department of cardiology at St Jan Hospital Bruges. Professor Duytschaever is an active clinical researcher at both institutes and has published widely on the pathogenesis and treatment of arrhythmias. He is a member of the EHRA education committee. Professor Burri is an electrophysiologist involved in ablation and device procedures. He has chaired the EHRA education committee and is also a member of the ESC education committee. He is a Professor at the Medical Faculty of the University of Geneva.

The book takes a highly didactic approach to complex and varied cases ranging from very common issues to rare ones, thus helping professionals improve their diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. The book is also excellent additional material for anyone preparing accreditation examinations related to this material under the auspices of scientific societies as the examinations are in a similar format. * Revista Espanola de Cardiologia * This book closes a significant gap in the portfolio of EHRA educational products as it presents excellent clinical cases from interventional electrophysiology in a very practical fashion. All major fields of interventional electrophysiology are covered with interesting ECGs and EP tracings and beautifully illustrated clinical cases. In addition, the feature of self-assessment with multiple choice questions and the excellent comments and explanations complete the value of this educational tool... This book is a must read for everyone interested in clinical electrophysiology and will certainly contribute to improve the knowledge about heart rhythm disturbances and thereby the quality of care for the benefit of our patients with cardiac arrhythmias. * Gerhard Hindricks, EHRA President * The EHRA Book of Interventional Electrophysiology is a very enjoyable way to update yourself on all major types of recordings used in the EP laboratory. The cases are brief and to the point with very clear electrograms. They cover important electrogram observations, both common and uncommon. I recommend the text, and suspect that you will not want to put it down. * Warren M. (Sonny) Jackman, Heart Rhythm Institute, University of Oklahoma * The basics of clinical cardiac electrophysiology set out with beautiful traces and clear concise explanations - an excellent and efficient learning resource. * Prof. Dr. John Camm, Professor of Clinical Cardiology, St. Georges University of London *
