Nuts and Bolts of Cardiac Pacing

The presentation of material in this book was very helpful. As a cath lab staff-educator, finding resources that get's down to the "nitty-gritty", be practical and in terms that can be conveyed to both the novice and experience staff member is difficult. Tom Kenney in this book, and in his "Nuts and Bolts of ICD Therapy" arms the reader quickly with knowledge useful in the cath lab, clinic or in educating those working around pacemakers and other devices.
