An atlas of radioscopic catheter placement for the electrophysiologist

Interventional cardiac electrophysiology has undergone a rapid development intechnique and application in recent years. New 3-dimensional techniques have been proposed for catheter navigation in the heart but, an up-to-date X-ray guide is still indispensable for the correct positioning of catheters in the different cardiac chambers. An Atlas of Radioscopic Catheter Placement presents fundamental knowledge about radiographic anatomy of the heart and some advices to correctly move and rotate the catheters, in a concise and clear manner. Up-to-date illustrative guide to the technique Includes extensive details on arrhythmia ablation Contains an extensive annotated bibliography detailing the major references INDICE: Section I. Brief review of the radioscopic anatomy of the heart.- Section II: Electrophysiology.- The electrophysiological study.- Ablation of right atrial arrhythmias.- Ablation of left atrial arrhythmias.- Atrial fibrillation ablation.- Ventricular tachycardia ablation.- Section III: Cardiac Pacing.- PM/ICD-Defibrillator.- Biventricular PM/ICD-Defibrillator.- Lead extraction.- Section IV: Commented bibliography.
