Tremendous advances in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) have coincided with the evolution of interventional electrophysiology. This book is designed to provide both the electrophysiologist and echocardiographer with an in-depth view of the role and value of ICE during electrophysiologic procedures. A guide to techniques used for optimal ICE imaging in cardiac electrophysiology is provided. In addition, new and less-recognized uses of ICE in electrophysiological procedures are described and their clinical applications are presented. Illustrated with over 500 images, many of which are in color, the book can also be used as a practical atlas. Readers need not be experts in the field of echocardiography to benefit from this practical approach to intracardiac imaging in electrophysiology.

A focus on intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), with an emphasis on practical use during electrophysiological procedures This illustrated text, complemented by over 50 instructional videos, presents description, rationale, and instruction in ICE utilization for the complete range of currently performed EP procedures, including mapping and ablation procedures, device implantation procedures, and all common variations on these procedures. ICE is the only continuous real-time imaging modality with widespread utilization by electrophysiologists: ~Reliably and accurately visualize intracardiac and extracardiac structures and placement of catheters within the heart chambers. ~Observe anatomic detail otherwise invisible. ~Potentially improve procedural safety and efficacy. This text is written and edited by experts with extensive experience and knowledge that they have imparted to the reader. The editors have previously collaborated on a related textbook from Cardiotext Publishing, Fluoroscopy Reduction Techniques for Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias.

Catheter ablation has become a widely used approach to treating various cardiac arrhythmias. Traditionally, catheter ablation procedures are guided by fluoroscopic imaging to help understand catheter position during mapping. The potentially significant exposure to radiation to the patient, physician, and staff increases risks of radiation exposure-related disease. Also, the protective lead garments worn increases risks of orthopedic injury. Current advanced electroanatomic mapping and intracardiac echocardiography technology have allowed the development of endocardial catheter ablation techniques without the use of fluoroscopy safely and effectively. A host of expert and experienced authors present a practical overview of the rationale and methodology for a low- or zero-fluoro environment in the electrophysiology lab with the critical goal of significantly reducing radiation exposure to the patient, physician, and staff. This practical guide: -Covers the entire spectrum of commonly (and less commonly) performed ablation procedures via endocardial approach. -Discusses general principles that are applicable across ICE and EAM platforms. -Will assist the electrophysiologist and their team to safely and effectively work toward the significant reduction in fluoroscopy utilization while also likely improving procedural safety, i.e., fewer complications, after the adoption of these techniques. -Includes a library of 50 videos, with 9 extended films (108 minutes) by Dr. Razminia detailing step-by-step procedures and techniques.

A state-of-the-art reference on contemporary and challenging issues in electrocardiography. Amazingly, over a century after the first use of the electrocardiogram, new ECG patterns are being discovered. And in the last few decades, several new electrocardiographic phenomena and markers have emerged that are challenging to physicians and allied professionals who read and interpret ECGs such as early repolarization, ECGs of athletes, Brugada Syndrome, short and long QT syndrome, various channelopathies, and cardiomyopathies. Internationally recognized experts discuss the most recent evidence-based information on these new observations, complemented with detailed ECG tracings, to provide essential guidance for the optimal interpretation of ECGs in the 21st century. Audience: Physicians who are involved in sports medicine, emergency department physicians, internists, ECG readers, and pediatric and adult cardiologists.

A comprehensive and state-of-the-art reference on percutaneous epicardial interventions for clinical cardiac electrophysiologists. “In Percutaneous Epicardial Interventions, Drs. d’Avila, Aryana, Reddy, and Marchlinski, bring together experts from around the world to summarize the knowledge gained and state of the art. These chapters are valuable, not only to practitioners who work in the pericardial space but also provides important anatomic, physiologic, and pathophysiologic insights valuable to all students of cardiac electrophysiology.” - William G. Stevenson, MD, from the Preface “In this breakthrough textbook edited and written by the inventors and experts, the reader will appreciate the historical evolution, pertinent technical aspects and relevant anatomy, and review the growing knowledge base of epicardial substrate characteristics implicated in human VT. This is the first authoritative compilation dedicated to epicardial interventions and is a must-read for all students of cardiac anatomy, complex ablation, and interventional cardiology.” Roderick Tung, MD, from the Foreword
