Pacing to Support the Failing Heart

This new title in the American Heart Association Clinical Series offers an up–to–date overview of the causes and damage related to dyssynchronopathy – a new pathophysiological entity related to spontaneous or pacing–induced mechanical abnormalities which causes heart failure.
This is a critical and evolving area in cardiology, and this new book covers the state of the art issues, including:

management of heart failure
selection of the heart failure patient for device implantation
device selection
programming and troubleshooting
non–invasive imaging of the heart failure patient.
Pacing to Support the Failing Heart presents the most recent diagnostic non–invasive tools and offers multiple figures, tables, algorithms, summaries of clinical trials and clinically important information for all cardiologists, whilst providing simple, practice–oriented therapeutic proposals for heart failure patients.
