Cardiac Electrophysiology: Textbooks and Reading Guide

Cardiac electrophysiology examines electrical activity, conduction and rhythm disorders. Reading should build from cellular mechanisms to the specialist terminology and investigations used in electrophysiology training.

Key topics in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Use these topics to organize your reading and compare the scope of a textbook with your course or training requirements:

  • Impulse formation and conduction
  • Arrhythmia mechanisms
  • Electrophysiological assessment and mapping concepts

Choose a reference for your stage of study

For course study

Start with the title and edition specified by your course. Read the main explanation before using summaries or review questions, and keep a short list of terms and concepts that need further study.

For professional reading

Choose the chapter or reference that addresses your question and fits your role. Check the intended audience and publication context; a concise review and a specialist reference provide different levels of detail.

For this subject, use impulse formation and conduction as one point of comparison. Then check how much attention the book gives to arrhythmia mechanisms and electrophysiological assessment and mapping concepts. A category label does not mean that every listed title covers all three areas.
