Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual is the first comprehensive guide
to the electrical activity of biological cells and tissues and the
techniques of electrophysiology. Through a case-based discussion of
patients with arrhythmias, the book illustrates the various
contemporary techniques for diagnosis, imaging, and physiology-based
therapeutic ablation.
Section One addresses the basics of
electrophysiology, including device placement, recording, measurement,
diagnosis, imaging, amperometry, and physiology-based therapeutic
ablation, helping the reader appreciate and more fully understand the
complexity and lessons of the emergent specialty. The second section is
a case-based discussion of adult and pediatric arrhythmias broken down
into twenty patient case studies intended to help the student and
clinician apply their understanding of electrophysiology to real
presentations, and think about how to plan and execute invasive study
and ablation. Each of the twenty case chapters features a question and
answer section in order to aid study and retention of material.

with full-page color images of intracardiac electrograms, fluoroscopic
images, ultrasound images, advanced mapping, and correlated anatomic
dissection, Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual is the first focused
exploration of the topic and is specifically designed to help both
students and practitioners understand and integrate techniques into
their daily practice. At present, clinicians have to piece together
information on electrophysiology from a variety of sources, often
leaving gaps in knowledge. Mayo Clinic Electrophysiology Manual provides
the clinician with a single authoritative guide and quick reference.
Through in-depth analysis of electrophysiological techniques and an
understanding of the anatomic and physiological basis for present day
mapping, image integration, and ablation, this volume is an
indispensable resource for students, practicing physicians,
researchers, and experts in electrophysiology.
