Clinical Electrophysiology

<b>Bridging the clinical electrophysiological investigation with the neurological consultation</b> <p>Acutely ill patients present with symptoms that don’t immediately yield a diagnosis. Electrophysiological testing can support diagnosis but only if the appropriate tests are ordered.  They must be properly interpreted in conjunction with the actual symptoms. <i>Clinical Electrophysiology</i> presents a wide range of symptoms with specific electrophysiological results. The handbook shows how the complete picture leads to better diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic conclusions.</p> <p>The book is organized by the presenting neurological problem in a clinical setting. For each case the authors provide a possible electrophysiological result. This is interpreted and tied to the patient’s symptoms to yield a clinical solution. The handbook avoids theoretical discussion to provide a direct practical guide that:</p> <ul> <li>Begins with the patient’s symptoms</li> <li>Uses a range of electrophysiological modalities</li> <li>Shows different test results for similar symptoms</li> <li>Relates clinical observation to electrophysiological testing</li> </ul> <p>A final casebook section presents readers with rarer clinical challenges for self-testing.</p> <p>Providing practical, to-the-point guidance on electrophysiological investigations, <i>Clinical Electrophysiology</i> will guide all neurologists attending acutely ill patients.</p>
