Description
Many caregivers working in the field of medicine find that one of the best ways to learn is by working through clinical cases, and for many individuals it’s even more helpful to work through the examples as “unknowns.” This is especially true in the arena of implantable cardiac devices.
Reviews
Clinical problems being encountered in practice are largely unique as they are patient-specific. Realising this important fact, the authors have made every effort to present them in a systematic way almost similar to what is being observed in a real-world scenario. A case history is followed by relevant images and a multiple choice question. This helps the reader to solve these problems by carefully analysing them to reach at the most likely possibility. The answer with a detailed explanation is given in the subsequent pages. The cases generally progress from simpler to more complex cases. An appendix is provided that identifies the major diagnostic dilemma presented by each case, and the index will direct the reader to cases and discussions focussing on specific issues. No doubt, these cases are well-suited for a clinician who does regular follow up of the patients, or who takes an examination related to device management. –Reviewed by Narayanan Namboodiri Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Trivandrum, Kerala, India – Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal (ISSN 0972-6292), 12 (2): 77-78 (2012)
