Produktbeschreibung
This book is the culmination of a lifetime of involvement with invasive and non-invasive cardiology by one of Switzerland's leading cardiologists.

Professor Gertsch covers both clinically relevant ECGs and very interesting rarer cases of the normal and the exercise ECG, making this work extremely comprehensive. Numerous ECGs and two-color drawings illustrate the text, which is also brought closer to the reader by means of over fifty case reports.

Ease of reference is facilitated by the division of the text into separate sections "At a Glance" for readers who want quick information, and "The Full Picture" for readers wishing to go into exhaustive detail.

Rezensionen
From the foreword by Professor Christopher Cannon:

"Professor Gertsch has compiled a wonderful book that covers all aspects of electrocardiography but with a very practical and clinically useful approach...."

From the reviews:

"This single-authored book covers all aspects of electrocardiography from a clinical and practical view. ... this book very useful for all levels of physicians caring for cardiac patients and health-care professionals. The book is fully illustrated with more than one thousand high quality ECGs, figures and tables. It will offer many individuals who interpret electrocardiograms the necessary educational 'building blocks' required to increase their knowledge of the subject and to improve their interpretation skills."
