Synopsis

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This book is intended for senior medical students, but could be used by junior medical students or even medical residents as a starting point in basic electrocardiography....There is definitely a need for this ten-day plan to fit medical student needs in the curriculum. This book is beautifully illustrated with the basics using a vector cardiographic loop approach....This text was designed as a beginner's course in electrocardiography and that challenge is well met."--Doody's Review Service

In ten succinct lessons, this logically organized guide effectively explains the essentials of interpreting virtually every ECG practitioners are likely to encounter. Features crystal-clear vector images and practice ECG strips to build confidence and clinical skills. Expertly written by an author with nearly two decades of experience in teaching ECG interpretation, readers are masterfully guided around the pitfalls to achieve proficiency in this important clinical skill. For medical students, residents, or any medical professional who needs a "crash course" in ECG interpretation, this innovative resource is must-reading.
