Overview

When it comes to learning 3-lead ECG interpretation, there's simply no faster or easier way to master basic rhythms than this unique book - now updated to reflect the 2010 emergency cardiovascular care guidelines! Using a fun and easy-to-understand writing style, it uses humor, cartoons, and personal stories to walk you through the entire ECG process - from finding a heartbeat, to monitoring an electrocardiogram, to interpreting the heart rhythm.

In addition, you'll find commonly asked questions and answers throughout the text. Thumb tabs and lay-flat spiral binding make it easy to use anywhere, and the small size fits easily into a lab coat pocket. Unique Flip and See section at the end of the book allows you to see each rhythm side-by-side with a normal ECG rhythm, and a written walkthrough explains the important differences between the rhythms. Conversational language and clear illustrations and cartoons make the information easily accessible and understandable - as well as easy to remember and fun to learn. Includes Cohn's Pocket Guide for ECG Interpretation, a plastic heart rate ruler that's useful for both students and practitioners as an aid in rhythm interpretation.
