Produktbeschreibung

Mastery of ECG interpretation is achieved by a combination of pattern recognition and an understanding of how electricity moves through the heart, and how disruption of that movement manifests via ECG tracings. ECGs for Beginners, written by one of the world's most respected electrophysiologists with over 40 years' experience training clinicians, provides cardiology and electrophysiology trainees with an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to understanding and interpreting ECG readings in order to best manage their patients. All kinds of arrhythmias covered, as well as morphological abnormalities such as atrial and ventricular problems. Importantly, normal ECG readings are presented alongside abnormal readings, to best demonstrate how and why abnormalities occur and especially how important it is to interpret the ECG according to the clinical setting of each patient. ECGs for Beginners is an essential purchase for all cardiology and electrophysiology trainees, as well as being a handy refresher guide for the experienced physician. Highlights of the book: - Over 250 high-quality ECG traces of both normal and abnormal conditions, - Step-by-step practical guidance as to how best to interpret ECGs, including pitfalls, - Key points and management algorithms distill essential information, - Each chapter includes a self-assessment section allowing trainees to test their learning.
