Investigative Electrocardiography in Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This provides background information on procedures, epidemiological aspects, problem areas, mortality and morbidity risk. These topics are of particular interest for investigators in ECG research and clinical trials. This monograph is specialized beyond the scope of ordinary clinical textbooks of electrocardiography that have traditionally flooded the market. The authors have closely collaborated for over a quarter of a century in operating an academic ECG Center.

Autorenporträt

The authors have closely collaborated for over a quarter of a Century in operating an academic ECG Center that has been in charge of ECG analysis of all major national health surveys conducted by the US National Center for Health Statistics, a series of large cardiovascular observational studies and clinical trials conducted by the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and several large clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical industry.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book reviews common ECG abnormalities in various populations and focuses on the prevalence and incidence of these abnormalities as well as the prognostic implications of the findings. It uniquely provides an extensive series of tables listing normal standard of ECG intervals, amplitudes, and vectors in various populations ... . Investigators using electrocardiography as a research tool are the intended audience ... . This is a thorough book that will be useful to its targeted audience." (Marc N. Saad, Doody's Review Service, August, 2008)
