Our May issue includes updated information on guidelines, clinical trials, EP organizations, books, etc.

Dear readers,
Just in time for the annual HRS meeting, we have prepared a big issue for you! Highlights from our May 2007 issue include:

The question of whether or not an ICD patient should drive is an important quality of life issue. Therefore, an addendum to the 1996 Scientific Statement “Personal and Public Safety Issues Related to Arrhythmias That May Affect Consciousness: Implications for Regulation and Physician Recommendations” was recently released. Dr. Anne Curtis provides a summary on the updated guidelines.

EP Lab Digest’s first annual salary survey for EP lab professionals is also included in this issue, so please fill out the form at your soonest convenience! The salary survey form can be found both in this issue and on our Web site (www.eplabdigest.com). Once complete, the survey can be faxed or emailed back to us. Forms have already started coming in, so we look forward to publishing the results soon!

We hope you will stop by our booth at HRS; we will be located at #136. In addition, if you would like to submit an article to EP Lab Digest, please contact us. We would love to hear from you!

Thanks for reading!

Best regards,
Jodie
