Nothing is more perplexing to the clinician new to device therapy
than having to deal with cardiac electrocardiograms from a device
patient. Pacemakers and other implantable cardiac rhythm management
devices leave their "imprint" on ECGs and can
significantly change what clinicians see - or expect to see.
Evaluating paced ECGs can be challenging, yet nowhere is it taught
in any sort of comprehensive manner.

Designed specifically for clinicians new to device therapy,
The Nuts and Bolts of Interpreting Paced ECGs and EGMs
offers practical, reliable and objective information on paced
cardiac electrograms. Written in a lively, intelligent and easy to
navigate style, emphasizing real-life clinical practice and
practical tips, this book includes illustrated paced ECGs by
skilled artists to help minimize "fuzzy" lines and
emphasize key points. Each chapter concludes with a checklist of
key points from each subject ("Nuts and Bolts").
