Tremendous advances in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) havecoincided with the evolution of interventionalelectrophysiology.
This book is designed to provide both the electrophysiologistand echocardiographer with an in-depth view of the role and valueof ICE during electrophysiologic procedures. A guide to techniquesused for optimal ICE imaging in cardiac electrophysiology isprovided. In addition, new and less-recognized uses of ICE inelectrophysiological procedures are described and their clinicalapplications are presented.
Illustrated with over 500 images, many of which are in color,the book can also be used as a practical atlas. Readers need not beexperts in the field of echocardiography to benefit from thispractical approach to intracardiac imaging inelectrophysiology.
