This new book entitled 'Profiles in Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology' includes 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), reflecting eminent personalities or events in medicine and the main chapter on biographical sketches followed by a dictionary/glossary of arrhythmias, electrophysiology and pacing. The Encyclopedia Rhythmologica 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. These names were repeatedly found in the speakers or faculty list of pivotal cardiologic, particularly rhythmological congresses, meetings, symposia, and workshops. Altogether, approximately 250 remarkable individuals are described.
The length of the respective CVs varies according to the available information from the literature (including Internet) or provided by the named individual itself.; Furthermore, it should be taken into consideration, that the number of names inevitably is based on subjective criteria. While originally filled with biographies of past pioneers of rhythmology, some of whom lived long ago, the encyclopedia does also include many contemporary rhythmologists. In this respect, the list is not statically predetermined, but rather is subject to biographically conditioned dynamics and must be revised and supplemented in definite intervals. Foreword by Masood Akhtar, MD. Milwaukee, USA. 'Professor Berndt Luderitz has made a chivalrous effort to acknowledge many, if not most contributions to the literature of cardiac electrophysiology.
Most prior medical/ historical communications have given minimal attention to the area of cardiac arrhythmia, and in this regard, the book serves a unique purpose in addressing the discipline of cardiac electrophysiology. Its alphabetical approach, bibliography subjects, and name indices are very valuable. Specific contributions are mentioned under the author's biography.; Clearly, many aspects of the history of a developing field represent moving targets, especially as related to the dynamic, explosive field of cardiac electrophysiology, and there is a lot happening as one uncovers past and present events. Nonetheless, cardiac electrophysiology today is a fairly well-defined discipline because of the creativity, dedication and hard work of the folks covered in this text. Digging up the classic contributions from often obscure sources also makes this book a must-read for those who want to get the facts straight. A subtle humor is noted at times and makes interesting reading.
This book will be a source to all students of electrophysiology including the current generation and the readers will find a variety of aspects covered. I congratulate Professor Luderitz, who dedicated a lot of time and effort to bring this together. We should all take advantage of this resource
