"The quality of the content of this book is excellent. Given the complexity of the subject manner, this book is a valuable resource for cardiologists and cardiology fellows with a specific interest in electrophysiology, as well as for electrophysiologists and electrophysiology fellows to further their knowledge and understanding of the complex topic of electrophysiology. The book is organized in a way that allows readers to develop an advancing framework that enables them to build upon and better grasp more advanced topics. The eighth edition provides updated knowledge and treatment strategies based on up-to-date research that was not in the previous edition." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Matthew Alan Colna, MD (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
