Cardiac Electrophysiology Study, Diagnostic Maneuvers and Ablation
The overall aim of an invasive electrophysiological (EP) evaluation is to accurately diagnose the mechanism and substrate responsible for a documented or suspected arrhythmia to treat the patient’s symptoms or improve his/her prognosis. Significant develo

Foreword
Clinical Handbook of Cardiac Electrophysiology, written and edited by Benedict M. Glover and Pedro Brugada, is a unique book. As the authors acknowledge in the preface, many excellent textbooks have been published on this topic. However, Glover and Brugada make the point that few provide a practical synopsis to bridge the chasm separating basic physiology, anatomy, and pharmacology from its practical application. That is the admirable goal of this book: to serve as the conduit between the basic scientist and beginner, for cardiology fellows, residents, and support personnel. The first three chapters lay a foundation for the rest of the book, including cardiac anatomy and basic electrophysiology (Chap. 1); the electrophysiology study, maneuvers, and ablation (Chap. 2); and electroanatomic mapping (Chap. 3). This book then embarks on a journey discussing the major cardiac arrhythmias including AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (Chap. 4), accessory pathway conduction (Chap. 5), atrial tachycardia (Chap. 6), atrial flutter (Chap. 7), atrial fibrillation (Chap. 8), ventricular tachycardia (Chap. 9)
