Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Growing clinical experience and additional clinical trials are resulting in changes in how patients are selected for CRT. This new edition of the successful Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy builds on the strengths of the first edition, providing basic knowledge as well as an up-to-date summary of new advances in CRT for heart failure. Fully updated to include information on technological advances, trouble shooting and recent key clinical trials, and with nine new chapters, this expanded text provides the latest information, keeping the reader up-to-date with this rapidly evolving field. The second edition of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is an essential addition to your collection.

In recent decades, the prevalence of heart failure has steadily increased and can be considered a 'contemporary cardiovascular epidemic'. Therefore, treatment of heart failure is a primary focus of cardiovascular disease management strategies. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy provides basic knowledge about congestive heart failure but also covers the evolution of cardiac resynchronization therapy and provides state-of-the-art information and future directions of this therapeutic tool. As CRT is a new therapy which still undergoes rapid advancement, it is imperative to provide updates in key issues. These include technological advances, the unique role of imaging to assess mechanical dyssynchrony, troubleshooting, recent key clinical trials, and the incorporation of monitoring capabilities into CRT or CRT plus defibrillation devices. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy is an essential addition to your collection.
