Ellenbogen textbook December 3, 2007
I purchassed this textbook to prepare for the IBHRE exam. It provided an complete and excellent overview of pacemakers, ICD's, and cardiac resynchronization therapy and served as my main source of study for the exam. The textbook was well written and well-referenced. I recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more about cardiac device rhythm therapy.
Outstanding, comprehensive text October 5, 2007
This book stands out as truly comprehensive with excellent background information, science, and truly up-to-date patient management details. The DVD is a great addition. Yes, it IS fun to read. If you need to know it, it is in the book!
An Excellent, Comprehensive, Clinically Useful Book January 20, 2007

This reviewer is co-author of Chapter 1. His biased judgment, as someone who began implanting pacemakers in 1961 and defibrillators in the early 1980's, is that this book is a great one.
The book does have some word abbreviation errors that should be listed for the reader.
In Chapter 1 the legends for figures 1-17 and 1-19 had the incorrect abbreviation msec substituted somewhere in the publishing process for the word microseconds that was spelled out in the manuscript. Also, in the legend for figure 1-22 the terms 10 msec and 500 msec were in the publishing process substituted for the 10 microseconds and 500 microseconds that were spelled out in the manuscript.
The same set of corrections applies to the DVD ROM presentation of Chapter 1 figure legends.
Similarly during the publishing process the incorrect abbreviation "mF" was substituted for the manuscript's "microfarads" on page 29 of Chapter 1 near the bottom of the left hand column.
The book and DVD ROM do present highly useful clinical and background information bearing on treatment of cardiac rhythm problems with electrical devices. These are classical pacemakers, defibrillators, resynchronization devices, and combinations thereof. The information - and its organization in the book and in one's mind - are important for physicians who implant electrical devices. The information will also be important for other medical and physical science persons who are concerned with cardiac rhythm, sudden death, and congestive heart failure problems.
The book - because it is both intellectually satisfying and practical - is fun to read, bits at a time.
