This book is designed to elucidate the evolution of understanding of the heart's electrical system, spanning the discovery of its anatomical structures to subsequent developments in implantable devices and three-dimensional imaging technologies. The ability to "look to the future" on future developments in cardiology is dependent upon a complete understanding of historical events. This book attempts to synthesize historical insights to understand the present and predict the future of electricity utilization in cardiology, while combining knowledge and tools, as well as financial constraints...

Pediatric cardiology has developed into a specialism within both pediatrics and cardiology over the past few decades. It covers cardiac disorders in developing children, from the fetal stage through young adulthood. Lifelong monitoring is sometimes necessary for children with congenital cardiac conditions, regardless of whether they have undergone surgery.
