Synopsis

A practical hands-on book for the non-expert in ECG interpretation heavily illustrated with 2-color ECGs specially re-drawn from original ECG printouts. A wide range of abnormalities are included. ECG interpretation is explained in the context of overall patient assessment, with emphasis on crucial questions such as "Are the abnormalities I can see significant?" and "Has this patient had a myocardial infarction?" and then takes the reader through what to do about the problem identified, including "Should I refer this patient to a specialist cardiologist?" This book should be particularly invaluable to any non-cardiologist dealing with a cardiac problem in the middle of the night;it includes strict guidance on when to proceed and when to wake the expert up.
