Product Information

Written specifically for paramedics and prehospital professionals, this bestselling title is a full-colour, concise and easy-to-use guide to cardiac electrophysiology and ECG interpretation. Topics range from fundamental ECG interpretation and the basics of cardiac anatomy, to arrhythmia recognition and 12-lead ECG interpretation, all presented in independently accessible sections. Information on clinical signs and symptoms, underlying causes and differentials, and management decisions for each presentation, places your ECG learning firmly within the context of wider clinical knowledge and experience. Practice ECGs and case-based scenarios enable you to consolidate this learning.

The 12-Lead ECG: The Art of Interpretation will help you learn the basics of the electrocardiogram. I recommend this book for nurses, medical students, and even physicians who want to improve their electrocardiography interpretation.Sometimes, just reading texts may seem tedious and difficult to understand. Fortunately for you, this book published by NEDU provides valuable illustrations to help you identify what a normal heart should look like from what’s not. This is the second book in the series by Mattu and Brady and it’s just as good as their first book. Tests for heart rhythm problems. British Heart Foundation. www.bhf.org.uk, accessed 23 November 2016 For example, an exercise ECG may be recommended if your symptoms are triggered by physical activity, whereas an ambulatory ECG may be more suitable if your symptoms are unpredictable and occur in random, short episodes. Real-life 12 lead examples of every need to know ECG abnormality (and how to spot them), so you can diagnose everything from axis deviation to a posterior STEMI (and everything in between)

To monitor heart health when a patient has other conditions or illnesses, such as diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of heart disease. The EKG or electrocardiogram is a procedure that detects and records these signals in our heart. Health practitioners use this to determine possible heart conditions such as enlarged heart or any abnormal rhythms in the said organ that may induce heart failure.You don't need to do anything special to prepare for the test. You can eat and drink as normal beforehand. A new opening chapter entitled ‘ The ECG made very easy’ distils the bare essentials of using an ECG in clinical practice with minimal theory and maximum practicality. An ECG is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the heart. Mastering ECG interpretation takes time, patience, and practice. ECG is essential to master for medical students. Although these procedures can be time-consuming to learn, having a great ECG interpretation book can make all the difference. This is a great book for students. Content is succinct and constructed in a stepwise fashion. The quality of ECGs is good and the layout is pedagogical. There are plenty of practice examples that are discussed in detail. The book is more detailed than Dubin’s book but less detailed than Goldberger’s and Wagner’s. Hence, this is an intermediate book that is well-suited for students. Most (but not all) topics are covered and they are simplified. There is perhaps a tendency for oversimplification.
