The New Edition of this popular guide offers a simple, step-by-step method for mastering differential diagnosis of arrhythmias. Readers learn rather than memorize the criteria for recognizing a particular arrhythmia on an ECG, and how to differentiate itfrom similar arrhythmias. Abundantly illustrated, the book features 234 all-new ECG practice strips - with answers - to allow readers to sharpen their interpretation abilities. Presents the foundations of arrhythmia interpretation - QRST waves, heart rate, measurement, anatomy and electrophysiology. Provides, for each arrhythmia, a diagram of the electrical conduction system depicting abnormality ... a criteria spreadsheet stressing differential diagnosis ... and sample ECG strips representing the abnormality. Breaks down arrhythmia interpretation into premature beats, escape beats, atrial rhythms, junctional rhythms, ventricular rhythms, AV blocks and SA blocks for clearer understanding. Contains 234 all-new ECG strips with answers to make key concepts easy to understand and remember.
