Jian-Fang Ren & Francis E. Marchlinski 
Practical Intracardiac Echocardiography in Electrophysiology [PDF ebook] 

Tremendous advances in intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) have
coincided with the evolution of interventional
electrophysiology.

This book is designed to provide both the electrophysiologist
and echocardiographer with an in-depth view of the role and value
of ICE during electrophysiologic procedures. A guide to techniques
used for optimal ICE imaging in cardiac electrophysiology is
provided. In addition, new and less-recognized uses of ICE in
electrophysiological procedures are described and their clinical
applications are presented.

Illustrated with over 500 images, many of which are in color,
the book can also be used as a practical atlas. Readers need not be
experts in the field of echocardiography to benefit from this
practical approach to intracardiac imaging in
electrophysiology.

Dr. Jian-Fang Ren is a Senior Research Investigator in the
experimental and clinical electrophysiology laboratories at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He has been a
pioneer in using intracardiac ultrasound imaging for
electrophysiologic applications. He has authored or co-authored
over one hundred original manuscripts including seminal
publications related to the use of intracardiac ultrasound imaging
technology and catheter ablation of inappropriate sinus tachycardia
and atrial fibrillation. He has mentored over fifty trainees on the
use of intracardiac echo and has lectured internationally on the
subject matter.

Dr. Francis Marchlinski is a Professor of Medicine and
Director of Electrophysiology for the University of Pennsylvania
Health System. He has been actively involved in cardiac
Electrophysiology investigation and training for over twenty-five
years. He has authored numerous articles on the utility of a
variety of imaging techniques for facilitating electrophysiologic
mapping and ablation.

Dr. David Callans is a Professor of Medicine and Director
of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory at the Hospital of
University of Pennsylvania. He has been a pioneer in the use of
intracardiac echocardiography in cardiac electrophysiology. He has
authored a number of original publications and reviews, lectured
and has organized training sessions for electrophysiologists on the
use of intracardiac echo.

Dr. David Schwartzman is a Associate Professor of
Medicine and Director of the Atrial Fibrillation Center at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has been actively
involved in the development of intracardiac echo imaging in cardiac
electrophysiology and has continued to published original
manuscripts and well-respected, state-of-the-art reviews on the
subject.
