Our purpose in writing this book was to produce a
clinically-oriented, non-multi-au- thored textbook ofcardiac
electrophysiology that would be useful to practicing electro-
physiologists, cardiologists, fellows in training as well as
associated electrophysiology professionals, including nurses and
technologists. While all clinical textbooks risk be- coming
outdated even before they're published, and few textbooks ofa
manageable size can claim to be completely comprehensive, our goal
was to produce a book that system- atically presents a thorough
discussion ofthe fundamental principles and concepts im- portant to
the practice of clinical electrophysiology. We do not discuss basic
cellular electrophysiology for its sake alone, but instead include
basic science material only when itis helpful in explaining the
overlying clinical principles. Cardiac electrophysiology, as with
any subspecialty, behaves as a living organism with continuous
evolution of its standards and practices. However, even though the
details and tools of management (catheters, drugs, devices, etc. )
may change with dazzling speed, the fundamental princi- ples
ofdiagnosis and management generally change very little and they
remain the criti- cal underpinning ofthe day-to-day management
ofpatients with cardiac arrhythmias. In the first third ofthe book
we present the principles ofclinical cardiac electrophysiolo- gy as
it is currently practiced.
