ECG from Basics to Essentials
Step by Step
Samenvatting
This brand new guide assists students, interns and residents in developing a functional understanding of the set–up, workings and interpretation of ECGs
Step–by–step graphics and short, bite–sized explanations
Covers all major cardiac abnormalities including hypertrophy, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, and pre–excitation syndromes
Begins with a section on physiology of the heart and the basic set up of ECG recording
Features top tips on what to look for, complete with illustrated examples
Supported by a companion website featuring additional practice tracings
