Since the first pacemaker implantation in October 1958 by
Senning and Elmqvist in Sweden, cardiac pacing for bradycardia has
become a well-established therapy. The impressive growth of clinical
experience and the rapid development of pacemaker devices have greatly
contributed to this situation. The electrical therapy appears to be so
easy that insertion of the lead and its connection to the pacemaker
generator requires little effort, skill or insight. However, after
implantation a patient's condition seldom remains stable, which
requires a flexible pacing program to cover all new cardiac events,
and broad insight from clinician and technical colleagues.
The Pacemaker Clinic of the 90's teaches anatomical and
electrophysiological aspects of pacing, supports the prevention of
complications, and points to new developments in the field. Apart from
classical indications for cardiac pacing, the book discusses the
validity of the latest indications, supporting the cardiologist and
the associated professional in selecting the appropriate pacing mode
and pacemaker follow-up in individual patients. The Pacemaker
Clinic of the 90's will be a helpful companion for years to
come.
