Download or read book Cardiac Pacemakers Step by Step written by S. Serge Barold and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years we have heard many complaints that there is no verysimple book on cardiac pacing for real beginners. We have alsoheard that all the books on cardiac pacing are too complicated andimpossible to understand by beginners. Many have voiced the hopethat one day someone would write a book in the same style asDubin’s book on basic electrocardiography which is a hugebestseller with well over a million sold in many languages. A‘Dummy’ book on cardiac pacing would appeal to nurses,cardiology technicians, medical students and pacemaker companiesfor training their staff. We started with the assumption that the reader would know theprinciples of electrocardiography as in Dubin’s book butnothing about cardiac pacing. We carefully studied the Dubin bookand believe that we have improved his teaching method. The bookconsists of numbered illustrations each illustrating a concept inthe form of a diagram drawn professionally. We have been careful tomake the artwork simple for easy comprehension. Each illustration will occupy a page and have several lines oftext below it. We have already completed most of these. It isessential that there are all in color, this is a unique sellingpoint. The 3 authors have had vast experience in the field. Dr Baroldhas published 10 books on cardiac pacing and wrote the section oncardiac pacing in the 4th and 5th Edition of Braunwald’sbook, Heat Disease." S. Serge Barold, Roland Stroobandt and Alfons Sinnaeve Content: The plates depicting a concept with occupy 1 pages. Each plateconsists of a diagram and a short text. All diagrams are in color. In black and white they would losetheir teaching value There will be approx 200 plates. There will be approx 100 electrocardiograms. There will be a glossary, appendices and index

Download or read book Machines in Our Hearts written by Kirk Jeffrey and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today hundreds of thousands of Americans carry pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) within their bodies. These battery-powered machines—small computers, in fact—deliver electricity to the heart to correct dangerous disorders of the heartbeat. But few doctors, patients, or scholars know the history of these devices or how "heart-rhythm management" evolved into a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing and service industry. Machines in Our Hearts tells the story of these two implantable medical devices. Kirk Jeffrey, a historian of science and technology, traces the development of knowledge about the human heartbeat and follows surgeons, cardiologists, and engineers as they invent and test a variety of electronic devices. Numerous small manufacturing firms jumped into pacemaker production but eventually fell by the wayside, leaving only three American companies in the business today. Jeffrey profiles pioneering heart surgeons, inventors from the realms of engineering and medical research, and business leaders who built heart-rhythm management into an industry with thousands of employees and annual revenues in the hundreds of millions. As Jeffrey shows, the pacemaker (first implanted in 1958) and the ICD (1980) embody a paradox of high-tech health care: these technologies are effective and reliable but add billions to the nation's medical bill because of the huge growth in the number of patients who depend on implanted devices to manage their heartbeats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pacing and ICDs are used increasingly in the management of arrhythmias and a number of different cardiac conditions. Specialists, general cardiologists and general physicians are now closely involved in managing patients with these devices. Implantable Cardiac Pacemakers and Defibrillators: All you wanted to know is written by leading specialists from the UK and USA and is designed for all physicians looking for a clear and comprehensive introduction to the principles and functions of these devices. The focus of this book has been on the indications for these devices and continuing patient management for the generalist and those in training – including complications and troubleshooting that arise peri- and post-implantation. Not only does Implantable Cardiac Pacemakers and Defibrillators provide a sound introduction to the subject, in the later chapters it goes beyond the basics, introducing more advanced techniques such as lead extraction. It can be used both for those in training and for those with direct patient care responsibilities. With its up to date, evidence-based approach and inclusion of the latest AHA guidelines on pacing, this is an ideal guide to a major aspect of modern cardiac management.

Download or read book Pacemakers and ICD written by Riccardo Proietti and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac pacing is one of the most rapidly growing fields in medicine. This growth is stimulated by several challenges unique to this subspecialty: the high prevalence of diseases that require cardiac pacing; the wide range of age groups that undergo this therapy; the technological advancements that improve safety and feasibility of the procedure; the long-term performance of the devices implanted; and the potential long-term complications. Historically, the field of cardiac pacing was in the hands of cardiac surgeons and gradually absorbed into the specialty of cardiology. The need for a more specialised training to address the peculiarities of cardiac pacing brought about the formation of clinical electrophysiology as a subspecialty. In addition to clinical competence and knowledge, a basic understanding is required of cardiac pacing technologies and the science behind them. While there are many books on this topic, some comprehensive and others addressing specific issues, Pacemakers and ICD: Types, Potential Complications and Long-Term Health Effects is intended to occupy a middle ground. This book gathers information on a number of aspects not typically treated in detail in other books but of high clinical relevance. It follows the different stages of cardiac pacing from the surgical technique of the implant to the impact on long-term health after the procedure. Of particular interest are contributions from leading experts on alternative sites of pacing, less understood complications, psychological effects and fresh approaches to the clinical management of patients with implantable cardiac devices. Recent technologies and forecasts of the field, including leadless pacemakers and subcutaneous ICD are also discussed.

Download or read book Resilient Cyborgs written by Nelly Oudshoorn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how pacemakers and defibrillators participate in transforming life and death in high-tech societies. In both popular and medical accounts, these internal devices are often portrayed as almost magical technologies. Once implanted in bodies, they do not require any ‘user’ agency. In this unique and timely book, Nelly Oudshoorn argues that any discourse or policy assuming a passive role for people living with these implants silences the fact that keeping cyborg bodies alive involves their active engagement. Pacemakers and defibrillators not only act as potentially life-saving technologies, but simultaneously transform the fragility of bodies by introducing new vulnerabilities. Oudshoorn offers a fascinating examination of what it takes to become a resilient cyborg, and in the process develops a valuable new sociology of creating ‘resilient’ cyborgs.
