Developments in the electrical treatment of arrhythmias have been so fast over the last few years that access to available, state-of-the-art knowledge has become a major challenge. The proceedings of scientific meetings are therefore most helpful in this regard. This volume provides highlights of many of the recent and most important technological advances and concepts in cardiac electrotherapy, written by the most prominent figures in the field, for the internists, clinical cardiologists and cardiologists who are practising in arrhythmias and antiarrhythmic therapy. The book is divided into five parts, each focusing on an exciting group of topics. Part One is a highlight of some of the hit ...
How to face 'the faces' of cardiac pacing represents an editor's compiled selection of lectures on cardiac pacing and electrophysiology. Electrical stimulation of the heart is an ever-changing and, at times, explosive field. The number of implanting centres is growing tremendously and pacing is not exclusively confined to arrhythmologists. Therefore, the editors attempted to organize a course being both practical in daily clinical management and instructive in understanding technical concepts. The glossary of terms have to be clearly understood before one is able to interpret the complex electrocardiograms of DDD and especially DDDR pacemakers. Those electrocardiograms have to be approached ...

Established since 1968 as a classic pediatric cardiology text, this two-volume work is now in its Seventh Edition. Leading international experts describe state-of-the-art diagnostic and interventional techniques for young patients with congenital and acquired heart diseases and for adult survivors of congenital heart disease. This edition's section on pediatric cardiac intensive care has new chapters on interventricular and cardiopulmonary interactions and on the extreme premature, premature, and normal newborn. A section From the Gene to the Neonate provides in-depth coverage of genetics, fetal echocardiography, and fetal cardiology. An extensive section focuses on adult survivors of congenital heart disease. A companion Website will include the fully searchable online text and a full-color image bank.
Clinical cardiologists are encountering an important challenge in the caring of families with inherited cardiac diseases. The majority of the inherited cardiac diseases causing sudden death express themselves at variable ages in the form of altered muscle function (i.e hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy) or in the form of arrhythmias (i.e. Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome). However, it is not uncommon that the first sign of the disease may actually be sudden cardiac death, even before the identification of clear clinical abnormalities. In this last decade, with more than 50 new disease-associated genes identified, the possibility of genetic testing has opened a new opportunity to disease diagnosis and prevention. Clinical and genetic research is continuously on-going not only to identify those at risk, but to better define their level or risk still with limited success.
Dramatic evolution in performance and sophistication of cardiac pacing systems in the last five years dictated the need for a 2nd European Conference on Pacemaker Leads. New methodologies in arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment have been consolidated. The increased sophistication of both generators and leads and the extreme reduction of generator and battery sizes mean that fixation and low-energy electrodes continue to develop. New ideas and preliminary experiences with endocardial cardioverter/defribrillator leads, ablation and mapping catheters were presented with concentration on single lead VDD pacing and electrodes for low-energy pacing. The lectures and contributed papers are of an extremely high scientific content. Innovative proposals and preliminary experiences presented in this volume contribute to the improvement of lead technology and design for special applications, and it is believed that major efforts should be devoted to permanent pacing leads as a component of the pacing system one for a lifetime.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Annotation The 14 papers in this collection from the August 2001 workshop are divided into five sessions on semiconductor memory design, BIST, redundancy and error control, fault models and multi-port SRAM testing, and verification and testing. Some of the topics are evaluation of redundancy analysis algorithms, a parallel approach for testing multi-port static random access memories, a low output resistance charge pump for flash memory programming, BIST-based bitfail mapping of an embedded DRAM, and an orthogonal transpose- RAM cell array architecture with an alternate bit-line to bit-line contact scheme.
