Cardiac pacing is one of the most rapidly growing fields in
medicine. This growth is stimulated by several challenges unique to
this subspecialty: the high prevalence of diseases that require
cardiac pacing; the wide range of age groups that undergo this
therapy; the technological advancements that improve safety and
feasibility of the procedure; the long-term performance of the
devices implanted; and the potential long-term complications.
Historically, the field of cardiac pacing was in the hands of
cardiac surgeons and gradually absorbed into the specialty of
cardiology. The need for a more specialised training to address the
peculiarities of cardiac pacing brought about the formation of
clinical electrophysiology as a subspecialty. In addition to
clinical competence and knowledge, a basic understanding is
required of cardiac pacing technologies and the science behind
them. While there are many books on this topic, some comprehensive
and others addressing specific issues, Pacemakers and ICD: Types,
Potential Complications and Long-Term Health Effects is intended to
occupy a middle ground. This book gathers information on a number
of aspects not typically treated in detail in other books but of
high clinical relevance. It follows the different stages of cardiac
pacing from the surgical technique of the implant to the impact on
long-term health after the procedure. Of particular interest are
contributions from leading experts on alternative sites of pacing,
less understood complications, psychological effects and fresh
approaches to the clinical management of patients with implantable
cardiac devices. Recent technologies and forecasts of the field,
including leadless pacemakers and subcutaneous ICD are also
discussed.
