Dr. Shenasa and his internationally renowned team of editors and contributors reflect all the breakthroughs that have been made in interventional electrophysiology and imaging technologies in recent years in this thoroughly updated guide to cardiac mapping. This third edition focuses on new developments in the field, such as mapping of complex arrhythmias, stereotaxis, and image integration. This useful resource for basic and clinical electrophysiologists illuminates the path to better and safer mapping. A unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of a DVD, which illustrates real-time data from actual cases.

Review :
"Although it is often said that electrophysiology textbooks are several years behind the current literature, this book has an ‘up to date' feel about it and will be a relevant text for years to come. Senior cardiac physiologists working in electrophysiology would also find this book extremely valuable. Although £125 may seem expensive to many I think the book offers value for money. I shall certainly be keen to purchase one or two for the electrophysiology library at our institution." (Cardiology News, February 2010)
"This text provides a comprehensive, in-depth insight into current electrophysiological mapping techniques and is written by eminent specialists in the field.... Very well written and has clear explanations along with excellent illustrations." (British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, April 2009)
