| By: UNKNOWN ISBN: Publisher: Wiley Release Date: Bioscience book rank: 58765 | Jose Jalife is one of the few people who feel equally at home with both the experimental and computational aspects of cardiac electrophysiology research. He has been author or co-author of numerous well-cited papers in this area. This book not only gives a very good overview of the present state-of-the-art in cardiac electrophysiology, but also contains a lot of the findings of his group - especially on the role of nonlinear dynamics in cardiac arrhythmias. As such the title is too modest - it is not only the clinician who will benefit from reading the book, but also people involved in computational modeling of the heart. For people coming from outside physiology into this area (e.g., I come from physics), this book will be very helpful in giving them a crash course on the essentials of cardiac electrophysiology. The chapters I found especially relevant were: Chapter 4 ("Propagation through cardiac muscle") which gives a clear account of how ionic currents that move across a specified patch of membrane lead to propagation along the membrane so that the electric signal originated at one site can spread from cell to cell to induce the electrical activation of the entire heart (covers cable equations, "safety factor", anisotropic propagation, 2D and 3D propagation, etc); Chapter 6 ("Rate dependency of discontinuous propagation") which discusses the dynamics and ionic mechanisms of complex patterns of propagation (e.g., Wenckebach periodicity); Chapter 7 ("Basic mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias") which deals with cellular mechanisms of arrhythmias and discusses in detail arrhythmias observed in clinical settings (e.g., ischemia, long QT syndrome, etc); Chapter 8 ("Spiral wave activity: a new lok at the old problem of reentry") which is really the icing on the cake. This is (at present) the only book aimed at the medical community which deals with the topic of spiral waves at such depth - and makes it clear why nonlinear dynamics is relevant to current research in cardiac arrhythmias. All in all it's a book well worth having for one's personal research reference library on cardiac electrophyiology. The "Basic Cardiac Electrophysiology for the Clinician" book is a very affordable book, packed with information about all of the components of electrocardiology and electrophysiology. It is obviously a best buy for anyone needing information on electrophysiology. Excellent review that comes from the authorities of EP who wrote Electrophysiology from cell to bedside. a great book for the clinician | |

| By: Francis D. Murgatroyd, Andrew D. Krahn, George J. Klein, Raymond K. Yee, Allan C. Skanes ISBN: 1901346374 Publisher: Remedica Publishing Release Date: February, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 458871 | I can't say enough good things about this book. It's an easy to read book with many helpful diagrams. It's not a comprehensive EP text (like Zipes or Josephson), but it's excellent for the basics. I have found the diagrams to be extremely helpful in explaining EP topics to other cardiology fellows. I'd recommend this book to all EP trainees. This is a great book to jump-start your EP education. Nice photos, it is easy to read and it should be purchased by all new EP Lab staff members. At TCA Institute, we recomended this book to all the "Fundamentals of EP Course" attendees. Maha Rinaudo, Ph.D. This is a great book for those who work in EP and are at an advanced level. It is also good for Cardiololgy fellowing who are interested in EP, or who are in an EP Fellowship program. | |

| By: George J. Klein, Eric N. Prystowsky ISBN: 0070351694 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional Release Date: 01 December, 1996 Bioscience book rank: 581282 | This do-it as you go along book is essential for everyone taking the ABIM clinical cardiac EP boards. Additionally it is a great refresher and reminder for careful analysis of intracardiac electrograms. Some important concepts are emphasized which are important for both boards and clincal practice. It has some classic tracings and perhaps some not so common events. It could use more emphasis on atrial fibrillation.I am sure the next edition which is being currently revised will demonstrate that. Layout to present electrograms can be slightly better by using vertical flip over spiral bound manual versus turning the pages. Overall great bang for the buck!! | |
