Features: Many systematic textbooks and manuals on pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy have been published in the past, but currently, there is no comprehensive reference book in China that focuses on arrhythmia device therapy, emphasizes clinical practice, and is tailored for non-cardiac electrophysiology specialists. The publication of the Chinese edition of Practical Cardiac Pacing fills this gap. Edited by authoritative experts in the field of cardiac pacing from the USA, Professor Fred M. Kusumoto and Professor Nora F. Goldschlager, and translated by Professor Guo Jihong and Professor Wang Bin from Peking University People's Hospital, this book provides daily management information for patients with implanted arrhythmia devices. The book is divided into four parts. Part I discusses pacing systems: pacing leads, pulse generators, and working modes. The discussion on the physics and engineering principles of cardiac pacing emphasizes clinical application. Part II covers the application of pacing therapy in special situations. Part III focuses on the evaluation and follow-up of patients with implanted pacing systems. Part IV introduces the clinical application of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The target readers of this book include general cardiologists, training residents, surgeons interested in pacemakers and defibrillators, clinical nurses, and pacemaker technicians.
