The book Cardiac Pacing and ICDs is written by Karoly Kaszala, and Kenneth A. Ellenbogen. Managing an aging population with increasing comorbidities challenges each of us every day, and individualizing patient treatment using an evidence-based approach is a common goal of healthcare providers. Device therapy to treat cardiac arrhythmias remains relevant as device indications expand and survival in chronic diseases increases. Our goal with this new edition of the book is to provide an up-to-date source of basic principles and a resource for device technicians, industry representatives, medical students, nurses, residents and fellows, and anyone interested in caring for patients with cardiac problems. . implantable electronic devices (CIED) or interest in cardiac device therapy. Most sections of this book have undergone extensive revision, and several key chapters have been completely revised. All chapters were updated to include the most relevant clinical advances. Discussions of indications for device therapy now reflect the most current ACC/AHA clinical guidelines. We take a fresh look at different devices and lead components and pacemaker physiology and hemodynamics. The basic function of the pacemaker and pacing algorithms are extensively discussed along with troubleshooting. The Hemodynamics, Pacemaker Timing Cycles, Device Algorithm, and Troubleshooting sections have been updated to summarize the most current clinically relevant scenarios. Since the last edition, several important advances in device therapy have become commonplace.
Novel technologies such as leadless pacing, His bundle pacing, and subcutaneous ICDs offer alternative therapies to patients, and these therapies have achieved widespread application. Beyond discussing the basics of pacing and defibrillation, there are step-by-step instructions for the implant procedure in the current issue. The indications, the best uses, and the practical aspects of these new technologies are added and explained. Numerous real-life examples are included to illustrate specific problems and troubleshooting. It is hard to believe that 8 years ago we had only limited availability and acceptance of quadripolar left ventricular pacing leads for cardiac resynchronization therapy and now this is the norm. These chapters have been updated with new information about the multisite rhythm. Over the past five years, patient monitoring has been revolutionized with the widespread use of remote monitoring, and the final chapter provides a comprehensive review of current evidence and standard practice for patient monitoring.

Topics of this Edition
Overview of Cardiac Pacing and ICDs
Designed to provide clinicians and clinicians with a complete and up-to-date breakdown of current pacing and defibrillation device therapies, Cardiac Pacemakers and ICDs reflect the latest advances in device treatment of cardiac rhythm abnormalities. Topics ranging from essential principles to new and innovative techniques are explored in focused chapters, illustrated with full-color images, charts, and diagrams. Addressing all aspects of permanent and temporary pacing and defibrillation therapy, this valuable resource covers patient indications, pacing mode selection, implantation and removal techniques, troubleshooting, and much more.
The seventh edition has been expanded and revised to allow for a clear and practical understanding of the field as it exists today. Drawing on real-world experience and cutting-edge research, it offers accessible, systematic guidance with a clinical focus, as well as lots of little tips and tricks. Access to a new companion website provides insightful supplementary material, complete with downloadable images and video clips of key techniques.
