Infos

Cardiac Arrhythmia Management: A Practical Guide for Nurses and Allied Professionals provides a much needed resource for nurses and other professionals who work directly with patients being treated for cardiac arrhythmias. Comprehensive in scope, the book covers cardiac arrhythmia conditions and the issues surrounding implantable devices from implant surgery to remote monitoring and troubleshooting. Edited by a team of doctors and nurses, the book addresses key patient management issues in a practical way. Fundamentals for understanding the anatomy and physiology of cardiac arrhythmias and the technology behind cardiac devices are covered in preliminary chapters followed by more specific chapters devoted to cardiac conditions and treatments. Both novices and experienced health professionals will find the book useful and easy to use on a day-to-day basis.

Rezensionen

"This excellent, up-to-date reference will be very useful to clinical practitioners. It can serve as a very good adjunct to the material in medical-surgical textbooks for nursing students. It also could be very useful for arrhythmia management courses for more experienced nurses." (Doody's, 9 September 2011)
