Customer Reviews

No cardiac department should be without this book.
Cardiac Pacing dicusses indications for pacing through to follow-up and will prove useful to both cardiac technicians and physicians alike. The chapters provide excellent technical information on generators and leads, covering permanent and temporary pacing systems. There are clear diagrams on timing cycles and a very informative chapter on impantable defibrilators.
