number is increasing. It is not unusual for these patients to be
cared for by clinicians with no formal training in cardiac rhythm
management devices.
While there are many excellent pacing and defibrillation books,
they are nearly all written by physicians for physicians. The
Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing is written specifically for
non-cardiologists in a lively, intelligent and easy to follow
style.
It emphasizes real-life clinical practice and practical tips,
including illustrations from actual clinical settings. Each chapter
concludes with a checklist of key points from each subject
("Nuts and Bolts").
Building layer by layer on the fundamental principles and
concluding with advanced concepts, The Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac
Pacing is intended for a novice to appreciate overall concepts
and for a seasoned veteran to turn to answer a specific
question.
This book offers practical, reliable and objective information
on cardiac devices - it's easy to pick up, find what
you need, and put down.

"The book is clearly laid out and well written. The text is
divided into digestible chapters-ranging from indications to more
complex aspects such as troubleshooting and sensitivity. The
illustrations are of excellent quality and supplement the text
well.
