Good and easily accessible book. The problem I found is the use of old terminology. Like instead of mentioning PJRT, the book uses incessant CMT (circus motion tachycardia) which means Orthodromic AVRT.

The chapter on pace makers requires more illustration. Especially when discussing fusion and pseudofusion beats.
