Features: This book comprehensively elaborates on the concepts of cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac signal processing, and lead systems. It innovatively classifies them according to cardiac electrophysiological graphics and systematically introduces various cardiac detection information, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), fetal ECGs, pediatric ECGs, geriatric ECGs, 12-lead synchronized ECGs, Holter monitoring ECGs, telephone-transmitted ECGs, esophageal ECGs, esophageal cardiac pacing ECGs, orthogonal ECGs, vectorcardiograms (VCGs), stereoelectrocardiograms, monitoring ECGs, exercise stress ECGs, pacing ECGs, sinus node structure maps, AV junction potential maps, His bundle electrograms, late potentials, frequency-domain ECGs, impedance cardiography (ICG), magnetocardiography (MCG), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, computer analysis of ECGs, the application of computers in ECGs, and the treatment of arrhythmias. The book is closely tied to clinical practice, emphasizing practicality, and includes 1,300 illustrations. The appendices provide valuable references such as instrument parameters, detection methods, operation guidelines, diagnostic criteria, and bibliographies. This book reflects the new theories, technologies, and methods in modern cardiac electrophysiology and incorporates the rich experience accumulated by the contributing experts through long-term work. It holds significant practical value for in-depth research in cardiac electrophysiology, promoting the field's advancement, guiding clinical practice, improving diagnostic and treatment standards, disseminating cardiac electrophysiology knowledge, and cultivating high-quality professionals. It also plays a crucial role in popularizing and advancing the standardization and normalization of electrocardiography. This book is suitable for clinical physicians, cardiac electrophysiology professionals, faculty and students of medical schools, as well as engineering professionals engaged in cardiac electrophysiology research.
