The Essential Visual Guide to Basic Cardiac Electrophysiology
Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Visual Guide for Nurses, Techs, and Fellows, Second Edition fulfills the need of allied health personnel and new fellows for a practical, hands-on pictorial guide that clearly illustrates the essential concepts of clinical cardiac electrophysiology. More than 85 high-quality tracings, diagrams, fluoroscopic images, and electroanatomic maps, accompanied by detailed discussions of each image, offer a fundamental understanding of cardiac electrophysiology equipment, principles, and procedures:
• Catheter placement, hardware connections, and intracardiac signals
• Normal electrogram sequences associated with sinus rhythm
• Methodologies used to uncover the mechanisms of common clinical tachycardias
Authored by a team of experts, Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Visual Guide for Nurses, Techs, and Fellows, Second Edition is an invaluable resource for a complex technology, providing superb guidance in acclimating new trainees and personnel to the EP laboratory and empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to practice clinical electrophysiology.
New to the Second Edition:
• A new unit—Cardiac Electrical Axis
• 16 video clips with a focus on electrogram sequences
• An illustrated glossary and abbreviations list
• A free eBook included
From the Foreword:
Paul Purves is a unique EP technologist who has coupled his technical expertise and knowledge of EP with a passion for understanding the underpinnings of the study, and teaches what he knows to other technologists, nurses, and indeed physicians. He is a gifted teacher who has coordinated and assembled the “collective wisdom” of our team into this reader-friendly and unique visual guide to performing and understanding the arrhythmia study. It surpasses the needs of a simple introduction and will be useful to all levels of trainee who want to understand what is really “going on” and move to the next level.

From the Preface:
Cardiac Electrophysiology: A Visual Guide for Nurses, Techs, and Fellows is just that—a visual guide to electrophysiology. Written for allied health personnel, including nurses, technologists, industry personnel, and new EP fellows, this book presents the most important aspects of the EP study using pertinent images accompanied by detailed discussions of the principles involved. Topics covered include hardware connections (“connectology”), catheter placement, intracardiac signals, normal electrogram sequences associated with sinus rhythm, and—given an initial diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia—the methodology we employ to uncover the mechanism of the tachycardia.
