A Practical Guide to Cardiac Pacing,
Sixth Edition, is written to acquaint the reader with basic pacemaker principles
and terminology. We have always viewed this book as a bridge between the
beginners in pacing, or general cardiologists, and the engineers involved in
designing pacemakers and electrophysiologists doing advanced pacemaker work.
Every effort has been made to keep the text basic and some discussions are
deliberately simplified to provide a framework for understanding
pacemakers.
The field of pacing is expanding so rapidly that a book this size
cannot realistically be complete. In particular, the integration of the
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) with pacemakers has added enormous
complexity. We have given a very brief, introductory discussion of ICDs that
provides only a rudimentary introduction to implantable defibrillator
technology. We do, however, hope that emphasis on some of the basic principles
will be helpful.
