The ECG is one of the most widely available diagnostic tests
used in clinical practice today. This book is intended to build upon
the topics covered in Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics thus allowing
the reader to enhance their previous knowledge. Additional topics
covered include a detailed look at calculating cardiac axis, an area
often considered difficult to grasp, and alternative methods such as
the various ways the heart rate can be calculated, the different
criteria for determining LVH. Technical details about specific
cardiac conditions, how to interpret pediatric ECGs, and the effect
of medical devices on the ECG will also be discussed. Plentiful
diagrams, tables and colour images used throughout to illustrate
complex points in a simple and easy to understand way. The key facts
section at the end of each chapter highlights the most important
information and summary tables are provided to allow the book to be
used as a quick reference guide. Each chapter will contain a mind map
for revision and to aid dyslexic learners, practice questions and a
few practice ECGs to consolidate the readers knowledge.The book tells
the practitioner what they need to know clinically and doesn't assume
any prior knowledge. It is ideal for junior doctors and clinicians,
nurses, paramedics, students and health care professionals involved in
the recording of 12-lead ECGs.
