Contents:
Anatomical and electrophysiological bases -- The ECG curve : what is it and how does it originate? -- Recording devices and techniques -- ECG interpretation -- Atrial abnormalities -- Ventricular enlargements -- Ventricular blocks -- Ventricular pre-excitation -- Myocardial ischemia and necrosis -- Concepts, classification, and mechanisms of arrhythmias -- ECG patterns in supraventricular arrhythmias -- ECG patterns in active ventricular arrhythmias -- The ECG patterns of passive arrhythmias -- The management of ECG tracings with arrhythmia -- From symptom to the ECG : ECGs in the presence of precordial pain or other symptoms -- The ECG in genetically induced heart diseases and other ECG patterns with poor prognosis -- ECG recordings in other heart diseases and different situations -- Abnormal ECG in a patient with normal history taking and physical exploration and normal ECG in presence of important heart diseases.
Summary: Mastery of ECG interpretation is achievednot only by pattern recognition, but equally importantly, by aclear, practical understanding of how electricity moves through the heart and how disruption of that movement manifests itself viaeCG tracings. ECGs for Beginners, written byone of the world's most respected electrophysiologists with over 40 years experience of training clinicians, will provide cardiology and electrophysiology trainees with an easy to follow, step-by-stepguide tothe topic, thus enabling them to both understand and interpret ECG readings in order to to best manage their patients. Packed with over 250 high-quality ECG tracings, as well as management algorithms andkey points throughout, every chapter also contains self-assessment questions, allowing the reader to test themselves on what they've just learnt. All kinds of arrhythmias will be covered, as well as morphologicalabnormalities such asatrial and ventricular problems. Importantly, normal ECG readings will be presented alongside abnormal readings, to best demonstratehow and why abnormalities occur. ECGs for Beginners is anessential purchase for all cardiology and electrophysiology trainees, as well as beinga handy refresher guide for the experiencedphysician.
