| Summary |
"Illustrating each key concept with clear diagrams prepared in full color, the authors provide a comprehensible, step-by-step introduction that will have unique value as a teaching aid. Drs Barold, Stroobandt and Sinnaeve have brought together their extensive experience in cardiac pacing to produce a volume that will be the first port of call for all non-specialists contributing to the care of patients with cardiac pacemakers."--BOOK JACKET |
