Description
John Wiley Practical Management Of Pediatric Cardiac Arrhythmias by Vicki Zeigler, Paul Gillette
Practical Management of Pediatric Cardiac Arrhythmias offers a useful source of current, practical information on the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias in children, and is intended for all caregivers, from novice to expert, who treat children, adolescents, and young adults with arrhythmias. It includes succinct information on implications for clinicians and patient and family considerations, with precise "how to" information regarding specific treatment modalities and management techniques. A feature unique to this book is an exploration of the nuances that make cardiac arrhythmias in this population different from those in adults. The editors and authors are all internationally recognized experts in the field, and each section is completely self-contained and can be used separately to solve a specific problem. Addressing itself to all healthcare professionals who deal with the increasing population of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with arrhythmias, this book will prove a valuable asset to any healthcare provider working in the fields of cardiology, electrophysiology, and pediatrics.
