Electrophysiologic Testing

By Richard N. Fogoros

Book Overview

Following the huge success of previous editions, Electrophysiological Testing 4th edition is the must have resource for students, residents, cardiology fellows, primary care physicians, cardiologists, nurses, and technicians because it: clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias discusses advances in therapeutic electrophysiology keeping you completely up to date provides clear summaries of complex topics is written in a user-friendly and understandable writing style to make the information easy to digest and recall includes an entirely new chapter on the key field of Cardiac Resynchronisation Reviews of previous edition: "Many times I have found that EP literature is very tied to research results and bogs down the primary topic and makes it difficult to understand. This book explains EP in plain English I think it is in a class by itself." EP Technician, Galichia Heart Hospital, Wichita, KS, USA "It gives a good understanding of EP without getting too technical and complex in the explanations. It accomplishes a major task of "demystifying" the field of EP. It not only addresses the needs of non technical EP Personnel, but also provides a precise overview of EP for general review."

Customer Reviews

Superb coverage of things electrophysiologic!

As a pediatric cardiology fellow, I found this compact text invaluable. Dr. Fogoros writes in a manner that is easily understandable without being pedantic, straightforward without dismissing important details. His explanations of the anatomic substrates of arrhythmias, of the pharmacology of the conduction system, and of the routines used in the EP lab are fantastic. These are things that are typically quite elusive for the aspiring cardiologist, but after reading his text it was as if someone had turned on a light in a dark room. I only wish he had written more about pacemakers, but overall the amount of practical and helpful information and insight packed into this book is amazing.

Handbook of Cardiac EP by Murgatroyd

By far the best EP book written in my opionion. If you're a layperson to EP and trying to get a handle on what the EP is doing and how we all fit into the puzzle, this is the book for you. Great illustrations, tracings, and easy explanations adjacent to the pictures for better learning.

Wonderful EP book

I used this book during a month of electrophysiology during my PGY-1 year. It's a wonderful introduction, and I highly recommend it. Fogoros' prose is very readable.

Great Reference

Great reference to those just learning EP or who are new to the field. We used it for training of nursing staff in EP and for general cardiology fellows. The book is easy to read and has done an excellent job of making some of the more difficult concepts understandable.

EP demystified

This book is a must if you're trying to learn about EP - scientific reduction at its best.
