This compact, portable guide is written in a concise,
straightforward style and covers ECG basics, including cardiac anatomy
and physiology, how to obtain a rhythm strip, waveform components, and
steps for interpreting a rhythm strip. Practice rhythm strips show how a
systematic method works while validating the reader's interpretation
skills. Also covers single- and dual-channel monitoring, recognizing
common arrhythmias, tips fordifferentiating look-alike rhythms, 12-lead
and 15-lead ECGs, and the effects of treatments and conditions on ECGs.
Scores of illustrations allow visualization of complex pathophysiology
and anatomy concepts.
