In this chapter pertaining to therapies, we no longer describe the counting of events which has been detailed in the corresponding chapter. Similarly, discrimination will not be discussed. The tracings herein will be presented logically beginning with ventricular fibrillation, followed by tachycardias observed in the VT zone. We will describe the sequence of therapies that […]

4. Counters
Counting is the most important phase of the diagnosis, even before application of the discrimination rules. Likewise, in the event of failure of a given therapy, the counting rules during the redetection phase, in addition to influencing the progression of the therapies already performed, also influence the therapies that will follow. These cases will allow […]
6. Exercise and Arrhythmia
In this chapter we will make you familiar with tracings recorded by pacemakers. This is the best way to learn the basic functioning of cardiac pacemakers.
5. Pacing and Sensing
In this chapter we will make you familiar with tracings recorded by pacemakers. This is the best way to learn the basic functioning of cardiac pacemakers.
4. Pacing Modes
In this chapter we will make you familiar with tracings recorded by pacemakers. This is the best way to learn the basic functioning of cardiac pacemakers.
8. Physiological Pacing
Cardiac pacing is the only effective therapy for patients with symptomatic bradyarrhythmia. Traditional right ventricular apical pacing causes electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony resulting in left ventricular dysfunction, recurrent heart failure, and atrial arrhythmias. Physiological pacing activates the normal cardiac conduction, thereby providing synchronized contraction of ventricles. Though His bundle pacing (HBP) acts as an ideal […]

7. 50 ECGs that you need to know
We selected 50 ECGs that we think everyone treating cardiology patients should recognize.
6. Tachyarrhythmias
Do you develop a tachycardia when seeing a tachycardia? Let us show you all there is to know!
5. Conduction disorders
Conduction disorders may be associated with bradycardia such is the case in atrioventricular conduction disease (chapter 1). Sinus node disease also commonly causes bradycardia but the cause is decreased automaticity (chapter 2). Conduction disease of the bundle branches doesn’t not normally alter the cardiac frequency except in rare cases (chapter 3).
4. Cardiomyopathy
Most cardiac diseases show specific signs on the ECG.
3. Chest pain
When a patient presents with chest pain, the ECG remains the most important diagnostic tool.
2. The normal ECG
Building your framework of what is a normal ECG is essential to recognize pathological ECGs. But that is no reason to underestimate this chapter. We will take you from the P-wave all the way to the T-wave showing and explaining what is normal, but abnormal cases will also be shown, in order to strengthen your […]
1. History of electrophysiology and the ECG
Today the ECG is the most commonly performed cardiovascular exam. The first ECG was made over a hundred years ago but it was preceded by centuries of innovation.
