"The Dictionary of Cardiac Pacing, Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias" is a comprehensive one-of-a-kind reference on the rapidly-evolving language of cardiac arrhythmias and their management. It is written for physicians, nurses, technologists, and other health care professionals involved in the care of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. It contains nearly 2000 entries and more than 100 tables and illustrations on cardiac arrhythmias, eletrophysiology, cardiac pacing, cardioversion defibrillation, device technology, surgical and ablative techniques, and antiarrhythmic therapy. The "Dictionary" also includes definitions of terms that describe the functional anatomy and electrophysiology of various types of arrhythmias, engineering terms that are essential to an understanding of device technology, and tables of antiarrhythmic drugs categorized by type and action. Terms used in the identification, evaluation, diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with cardiac arrhythmias also are included. The definitions contain technical, functional, and clinical information and are extensively cross-referenced to make it easier for readers to find terms that have one or more synonyms and to assist readers in finding related terms and concepts. In addition, because the vocabulary is technical and abbreviations are used extensively, a comprehensive list of abbreviations and acronyms and their meanings is appended to the text.
