Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology [PDF ebook] 

Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology is a
collection of short biographies of scientists and physicians who
have played (or still play) a significant role in improving
diagnosis and therapy of heart rhythm disturbances including
electrophysiology and pacing.

Altogether, approximately 250 remarkable individuals are
described. Not only is the book filled with biographies of past
pioneers of rhythmology, some of whom lived long ago, but it also
includes many contemporary rhythmologists.

In addition to these biographies, it contains:

* * An extensive table of the History of the Disorders of Cardiac
Rhythm from the 16th to the 20th century

* A series of historical pages developed by the author for every
issue of the Journal of Interventional Cardiac
Electrophysiology (JICE) and reflecting eminent personalities
or events in medicine

* A glossary of arrhythmias, electrophysiology and pacing
