EKG Plain and Simple : From Rhythm Strips to 12-leads

From the basic to the advanced, "Ekg Plain and Simple" covers the broad spectrum of electrocardiography in a conversational style that invites comprehension.

Assuming no prior knowledge about the heart, it begins with the simple and lays a foundation for the more complex. 200 rhythm strips taken from actual medical settings provide real-life examples for examination, while rationales provide explanation of why each answer is correct.

The only text with complete coverage of rhythm and 12-lead analysis, it includes topics such as recognition of a heart attack and treatment of arrhythmia.

Appropriate for medical residents, beginning EMTs, paramedics, and clinical specialists in cardiac or cardiovascular nursing, it also features: an entire chapter devoted to rhythm strip analysis tools; twenty 12-lead EKGs and five detailed scenarios; hundreds of drawings, tables, and charts; chapter-end quizzes; 200 rhythm strips taken from actual medical settings; and rationales for all practice strips/EKGs.
