MODERN CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: From Standard Pacing to AI-Driven Mapping and Pulse Field Ablation

What if one book could finally take the complexity of arrhythmias, mapping systems, ablation technologies, devices, and AI, and turn it into a clear, practical roadmap you can apply in the EP lab tomorrow? This modern cardiac electrophysiology reference delivers exactly that. It covers the entire specialty from foundation to frontier: ion channels, conduction system anatomy, ECG diagnostics, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, catheter ablation strategies, device therapy, and the rapidly evolving world of pulsed field ablation, conduction system pacing, leadless platforms, and AI-driven analysis. Built for electrophysiologists, cardiology fellows, EP nurses, technologists, and device specialists, it links the physics, biology, and engineering of the heartbeat with the decisions that determine clinical outcomes. Inside, you’ll find: Core foundations that matter Functional anatomy of the conduction system Cellular electrophysiology and ion channels Mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis: automaticity, triggered activity, reentry, rotors, remodeling, and genetics Pharmacology & genetics made clinically useful Antiarrhythmic drug classes, rate vs rhythm control, and proarrhythmia risks Genetic testing indications, interpretation, risk stratification, and family screening Diagnostic electrophysiology with modern tools Advanced ECG algorithms for narrow and wide complex tachycardias Holter vs patch monitors, ILRs, smartwatches, and remote surveillance AI-supported diagnostics, automated annotation, and predictive analytics Ablation workflow from start to finish Invasive EP study, intervals, pacing maneuvers, entrainment mapping 3D electroanatomic mapping (magnetic, impedance, high-density, CT/MRI integration) Intracardiac echocardiography for transseptal access, visualization, and complication monitoring Comprehensive arrhythmia management AVNRT, WPW, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation (rate control, DOACs, PVI, RF vs cryo, persistent AF strategies) PVCs, ischemic VT, non-ischemic VT, idiopathic VT, bundle branch reentry, inherited arrhythmia syndromes Interventional technologies that define modern EP Radiofrequency ablation physics and safety Cryoballoon workflows and focal cryo Pulsed field ablation systems, tissue selectivity, and clinical trial insights Zero-fluoro approaches, transseptal techniques, and complication management Complete device therapy coverage Pacemakers, conduction system pacing, leadless systems ICDs, S-ICD, extravascular ICD, CRT optimization Lead extraction, venous recanalization, and remote monitoring workflows Special populations and clinical scenarios Pediatric EP, ACHD, syncope, athletes, pregnancy, post-operative arrhythmias Lifestyle and risk factor modification for long-term rhythm management Future-focused EP Biological pacemakers, gene therapy, optogenetics Robotics, remote navigation, MRI-guided ablation, XR visualization Precision medicine and AI-driven EP lab design With high-yield appendices on intracardiac electrograms, landmark trials, genetic panels, and anticoagulation bridging, this book gives you a complete, practical reference you can rely on. If you’re ready for a single, modern resource that elevates every arrhythmia decision, from ion channel to ablation strategy to device management, add this book to your library now and step confidently into the future of electrophysiology.
