A pioneering teaching DVD about basic electrophysiologic procedures. The idea is to show catheter and electrode positions inside the human heart as they should appear in real therapeutic situations. Catheter ablation techniques of common supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation and flutter are explained in details by demonstrating the arrhythmia substrates and subsequent catheter locations. Moreover, electrode placements to both common and uncommon locations to pace the myocardium are shown. With the aid of this DVD these therapeutic procedures, which are elementary but not always easy to perform, become comprehensible. This DVD is made with profound dedication to human science and passion to the art of electrophysiology.
