ECG Interpretation

From Pathophysiology to Clinical Application

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous improvement in our understanding of basic cardiac electrophysiology. Most introductory ECG books teach via pattern recognition and do not incorporate new pathophysiologic information.
There is a great need for a simple book that teaches electrocardiography from a pathophysiologic basis. The proposed paperback book will be small format, concise, and 200-pages in length. It can be utilized as a reference - chapter by chapter or read throughout for an overview. Each chapter will feature ten questions that will provide a chapter review. Ten case studies will be highlighted at the end of the book that will integrate the multiple principles of electrocardiography.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book provides basic information on ECG analysis as well as pathophysiologic and electrophysiologic concepts. ... The intended audience includes students, midlevels, physicians in training, and clinicians interested in cardiovascular diseases. ... Numerous illustrations and pictures are easy to understand and concepts are clearly detailed. The multiple examples, summary ... of each chapter are helpful and well done. The quality of ECGs, teaching points, and overall content of this book is excellent, making it a valuable teaching aid for students and practitioners of cardiology."
