Negli ultimi anni la tecnologia e le applicazioni della stimolazione cardiaca si sono evolute con estrema rapidita. I metodi utilizzati sono sempre piu promettenti ma non per questo meno complessi. Questo volume a stato scritto pensando agli internisti e agli specialisti in cardiologia per sostenerli nella scelta delle soluzioni terapeutiche, informandoli sui problemi specifici della stimolazione cardiaca. Oltre ai temi fondamentali della stimolazione cardiaca, la pubblicazione presenta dettagliatamente anche le nuove indicazioni alla stimolazione, i diversi tipi di pacemaker, le tecniche di...

Cardiac Pacement has undergone a rapid development in technique and application in the last years. Methods of cardiac pacement have become more successful but also more complicated. This book is written for internists in their practice and also for the specialists in cardiology to improve their therapeutic measures being informed about specific problems in cardiac pacement. Apart from the basics of cardiac pacement also indications, selection of pacers, implantation methods and complications are described. A special focus is on postoperative monitoring of the patient. A vast amount of...

The last of an ongoing series of Cardiostim monographs all devoted to cardiac pacing, was published four years ago. Since then, cardiac res- chronization for the treatment of heart failure has undergone spectacular progress and has revolutionized device therapy. Many patients have benefited from ventricular resynchronization often combined with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. More implantations are likely in the future as the indications continue to evolve with more attention being paid to the primary prevention of heart failure in selected patients and the treatment of earlier...
