New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation is the cutting edge book required by pediatric cardiologists and other professionals who encounter arrhythmias in children. Holter ECG examination has recently undergone significant advances in technology, sensors, and software. Yet, these innovations have been considered primarily in the context of adult patients. On the contrary, New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation uses a case-based methodology to illustrate diagnosis and management of actual pediatric patients. Further, it offers guidance in deciding when referrals are necessary for arrhythmological consultations or ablation interventions. This book also contains novel techniques for detecting and interpreting pediatric arrhythmias. These include the introduction of Poincare graphs, Lorenz plots, and other advanced methods for assessing heart rate variability. New Insights in Pediatric Holter Monitoring and Interpretation modernizes readers' understanding of arrhythmias in children, thus improving the young lives of those in their care.
- Provides an organized structure for analyzing Holter ECG data in children
- Reflects the broad spectrum of frequently encountered pediatric arrhythmias, whereas other Holter ECG books are adult-focused
- Helps readers develop expertise in analyzing Holter ECGs in children of varying ages quickly and accurately using rigorous case studies

Gabriel Cismaru
Gabriel Cismaru MD, PhD is a qualified cardiologist working at the Rehabilitation Hospital Cluj-Napoca in Romania. He obtained his PhD in medicine with a research thesis on electrophysiology and pro-arrhythmic drugs. He began his electrophysiology fellowship at the Institut Lorrain du Coeur et des Vaisseaux Louis Mathieu, France, after finishing his cardiology certification in Clermont-Ferrand and Dinan, France. He began working in the Rehabilitation Hospital's Electrophysiology Laboratory in 2011. He is an experienced surgeon who implants pacemakers, CRTs, and ICDs, as well as performing catheter ablation of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. He is qualified in pediatric cardiology, regularly performing device implantation and catheter ablation in children. Dr. Cismaru has authored or co-authored peer-reviewed publications and book chapters on cardiac pacing, defibrillation, electrophysiological studies, and catheter ablation. He is the author of the book Arrhythmia Induction in the EP Lab," now in its fourth edition.
