Electrocardiography is a simple investigation to perform, but
accurate interpretation can be challenging. This book takes a
logical and systematic approach to ECG interpretation, beginning
with the basics of normal variations and dealing in turn with
atrial abnormalities, ventricular enlargement, ventricular
conduction defects and ischemic heart disease.
Extensively illustrated with ECG tracings that complement the
text, this book provides clear and concise explanations of
traditional concepts of electrocardiography and combines them with
updates on the most recent developments in the field.
In 22 clinical cases, Professor Bayés de Luna illustrates
the principles of the book by integrating electrocardiographic
features with clinical findings for a thorough and methodical
approach to cardiac disease. Regular self-assessments allow readers
to evaluate their understanding of the ECG and reinforce key
concepts.
This book is an ideal introduction to normal and abnormal ECG
patterns. It is particularly valuable for medical students,
residents / junior doctors and nurses who wish to broaden their
skills in electrocardiography.
