Focusing on anatomy and procedural strategy for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, this atlas uses pictures and schematic diagrams to show how to use intracardiac echo (ICE) to assess anatomy, guide ablation, and prevent complications during interventional procedures, pulmonary vein stenosis, and embolic events. The authors review the state of the art and background support in the use of ICE in interventional electrophysiology procedures and the anatomy of both the atrial and ventricular chambers. They discuss innovative indications in the EP laboratory, future technologies such as 3-D echocardiography, and the integration of ICE with other types of imaging technology.

Das englisch-deutsche Buch Beyond the Borders stellt Ideen, Projekte und Positionen von KA1/4nstlern und Gestaltern vor, die die Grenzen ihrer eigenen gestalterischen Bereiche A1/4berschreiten und Neues entdecken. Ein GroAteil der BeitrAge wurde, unter Verwendung der unterschiedlichsten Techniken, von den KA1/4nstlern und Designern exklusiv fA1/4r dieses Projekt konzipiert und gestaltet, u. a. von der englischen Designgruppe Tomato, dem Macher des Benetton-Magazins Tibor Kalman, dem Chairman von Vitra Rolf Fehlbaum, dem amerikanischen Designer- und Musikerpaar Scott & Laurie Makela, dem Chef von NORTH-Design aus London Sean Perkins, dem Intermedia-Professor Peter Rea, dem Frankfurter Video- und ComputerkA1/4nstler Michael Saup sowie dem Typografie-Guru Edward Fella von der Calarts in Los Angeles.
The English-German book Beyond the Borders presents the ideas, projects, and opinions of artists and designers who cross the boundaries of their own creative disciplines and make new discoveries. Many of the contributions were conceived and designed exclusively for this project, whereby a variety of different techniques were employed. The contributors include: Tomato, the English group of designers; Tibor Kalman, the designer of the Benetton magazine; Rolf Fehlbaum, the chairman of Vitra, a Swiss furniture company; Scott and Laurie Makela, the American designers and musicians; Sean Perkins, the manager of NORTH Design in London; Peter Rea, the professor of intermedia; Michael Saup, the video and computer artist from Frankfurt; and Edward Fella, the typography guru from Calarts in Los Angeles.
