With a focus on the growing field of cardiology remote monitoring, this state-of-the-art reference provides must-know clinical and technical information as well as recent advances in application, engineering, and clinical impact from the current literature. Authoritative coverage of implantable devices and ambulatory ECG brings you up to speed on recent practice changes in remote monitoring that have alleviated the volume of in-office patient follow-ups, allowed for physicians to monitor more patients, enabled better patient compliance, and most importantly, provided earlier warning signs of cardiac problems. Includes sections on implantable devices and ambulatory ECG, covering topics such as patient safety, current guidelines and technologies, clinical indications, managing appropriate and inappropriate therapies, costs and reimbursement, data management, patient satisfaction issues, and much more.Presents new guidelines and practice changes driven by recent clinical data.Provides access to practical, current information in an easy-to-navigate, full-color format.Enrich Your eBook Reading ExperienceRead directly on your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphoneEasily convert to audiobook, powering your content with natural language text-to-speech

Now in its second edition, this practical guide offers clear-headed guidance to the successful application of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. This book concentrates on clinically-relevant information that providers can put to immediate use caring for patients. Takes a clear-headed practical approach to ablation of atrial fibrillation – long on actionable, clinically-relevant guidance, succinct and to-the-point on the theory behind the procedureEdited by three leading, internationally-known electrophysiologists with extensive experience in ablation for atrial fibrillationWritten by international team of experts reflecting global best practices from centers with considerable experience in the use of catheter ablationFormat designed to serve the needs of electrophysiologists regardless of experience, electrophysiology fellows, electrophysiology nurses and lab technical staffCovers hot topics such as new noninvasive imaging techniques, the treatment of challenging left atrial flutters, options for persistent atrial fibrillation and when a redo ablation is needed; and novel application of ablation targeting the autonomic nervous system
