Cardiac Pacemakers and Resynchronization Step by Step. An Illustrated
Guide. 2nd Edition
Description:
This new edition of the bestselling step–by–step introduction to cardiac pacemakers now includes additional
material on CRT and an accompanying website. It retains the effective use of full–page illustrations and short
explanations that gained the book such enormous popularity and now provides information on recent
advances in cardiac pacing, including biventricular pacing for the treatment of heart failure.
