The Origins of Ventricular Arrhythmias: Using the ECG as a Key Tool for Localization is the third volume in a case-based series highlighting the importance of the 12-lead ECG when mapping and treating patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

This volume features 30 cases, presented as a series of “unknowns” to teach electrophysiology and cardiology fellows-in-training the concept of connecting ventricular arrhythmias’ QRS morphology with the arrhythmia site of origin. These case studies are complemented by multimodality imaging and anatomy data to illustrate the precise locations of the sites of origin of different ventricular arrhythmias.

Mapping approaches are discussed to emphasize how 12-lead ECGs help identify critical sites of the arrhythmias.

Fully illustrated with more than 100 figures that include 12-lead ECGs, ECGs with intracardiac tracings, electroanatomic activation maps, and 3D reconstructions of echocardiographic images.

These cases will benefit the reader by providing a reminder of the localizing value of ECGs in combination with appropriate imaging for the mapping and ablation of ventricular arrhythmias.

Doody’s Review Service 4 Star Review ****

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on the ECG localization of ventricular arrhythmias. It covers a wide range of
clinical scenarios, demonstrating how careful analysis of the 12-lead ECG can guide successful ablation procedures for ventricular arrhythmias.

This book is an invaluable resource for electrophysiologists seeking to refine their ECG localization skills. The case-based format, authored by experts,
offers practical wisdom readily applicable to patient care. The book assumes a baseline understanding of electrophysiology and builds upon it with advanced concepts and subtle ECG clues. While not an introductory text, this book excels as a resource for physicians with a working knowledge of ventricular arrhythmias who wish to elevate their localization expertise. Its focused nature sets it apart from general electrophysiology texts, making it an
essential addition to any electrophysiology lab's library. This case-based guide is a must-have for electrophysiologists aiming to master ventricular arrhythmia localization. The intuitive format, illustrative figures, and insightful discussions make it an indispensable resource for optimizing patient
outcomes in the electrophysiology lab.
