Books about Intracardiac from Amazon.com

Intracardiac echocardiography is a relatively new ultrasound modality that allows visualization of the heart from within the heart, using a small ultrasound transducer mounted onto a flexible and steerable catheter placed within one of the cardiac chambers. It allows for diagnostic and therapeutic information to be obtained during heart catheterization and electrophysiologic procedures, and has radically changed the way these procedures are being performed - making them safer, faster, and more effective. Currently no echocardiographic textbooks cover ICE to any degree. This book, the first of its kind, covers all aspects of intracardiac ultrasound. It will allow readers to become expert at both ICE image acquisition and help guide interpretation of this information during interventional and electrophysiologic procedures. Short Contents.

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..

Focusing on anatomy and procedural strategy for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, this atlas uses pictures and schematic diagrams to show how to use intracardiac echo (ICE) to assess anatomy, guide ablation, and prevent complications during interventional procedures, pulmonary vein stenosis, and embolic events. The authors review the state of the art and background support in the use of ICE in interventional electrophysiology procedures and the anatomy of both the atrial and ventricular chambers. They discuss innovative indications in the EP laboratory, future technologies such as 3-D echocardiography, and the integration of ICE with other types of imaging technology..
