Finally, a pacing book dedicated to the adult patient with CHD.
Drawing on their vast experience, Drs. Mond and Karpawich join
forces to show you what to do, how to do it, and what to
avoid.
Building on more than 60 years of device therapy Pacing
Options in the Adult Patient with Congenital Heart Disease
leads you through the many congenital heart defects now seen in
adults. This essential resource:
* * Describes the various anatomical characteristics of repaired
and non-repaired congenital heart defects and compares these with
the normal anatomy, allowing you to easily identify the
differences
* Guides you through the implant techniques, highlighting the
specific problems that might be encountered and providing proven
techniques to overcome technically difficult anatomical variations
in patients with and without congenital heart disease
Throughout the book, schematic diagrams of the diverse anatomy
of the congenital heart support the textual descriptions, and
x-rays and fluoroscopic images illustrate the physiology and
maximize understanding.
