Overview
This highly visual handbook integrates cardiac anatomy and the state-of-the-art imaging techniques used in today's catheter or electrophysiology laboratory, guiding readers to a comprehensive understanding of both normal cardiac anatomy and the structures associated with complex heart disease. Well organized, easily navigable, and superbly illustrated in a landscape format, this unique text invites the reader on a visual intracardiac journey via stunning images and schematic illustrations, including such imaging modalities as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, radiography, and 3D mapping.Each chapter couples the electrophysiology perspective with detailed descriptions of the anatomic features relevant to a wide variety of arrhythmias, including: Supraventricular tachycardias Atrial fibrillation Ventricular arrhythmias With an overview of general cardiac anatomy, congenital malformations, standard catheter positioning, and potential pitfalls, Anatomy for Cardiac Electrophysiologists provides a solid foundation and quick reference for trainees as they prepare for the realities of the catheter laboratory as well as an excellent refresher for experienced operators. The anatomic figures that are provided are spectacular...This gem of a book stands alone as a brilliant starting point to meld interventional techniques such as ablation with the intricacies of cardiac anatomy - I highly recommend this eminently readable and superb contribution not only to the beginning trainee in cardiac electrophysiology but also to my more experienced colleagues. - From the Foreword by Melvin M. Scheinman, MD

Author Information
S. Yen Ho, PhD, FRCPath, FESC Professor of Cardiac Morphology Consultant Royal Brompton Hospital London, UK Professor Ho is an expert in the postmortem examination of normally structured hearts, hearts with conduction disturbance, and hearts with congenital malformations. An internationally renowned speaker and lecturer, she has authored nearly 400 peer-reviewed articles, 100 textbook chapters, and eight books. She serves on the Editorial Boards of Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Annals and the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, and is the current chairperson of the ESC Working Group on Development, Anatomy and Pathology. Sabine Ernst, MD, PhD, FESC Research Lead Electrophysiology Consultant Cardiologist Royal Brompton Hospital London, UK A pioneer in developing the technique of magnetic catheter ablation, Dr. Ernst's clinical expertise is focused largely on ablation of complex arrhythmias with a special emphasis on atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and ablations in patients with complex congenital heart disease. She serves on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Interventional Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and Europace, and has coauthored several chapters in cardiology and electrophysiology textbooks.
