Overview

Designed not only to give you the facts, but to help you understand and remember them, Learning Electrocardiography: A Complete Course, Fourth Edition is a learning tool for students and a reference for advanced trainees and technicians. The author's step-by-step teaching method lets you focus on the information as you need it and proceed at your own pace. He combines twenty years of teaching experience with the latest information on new methods and uses of electrocardiography. Brief and to the point, the text explains how an electrocardiograph works, how to draw a hexaxial system, plot vectors, produce a good ECG tracing, and draw a spatial vector. You will learn how to produce a technically good electrocardiograph, perform an office exercise test without a treadmill, and recognize the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without the necessity of diagnosing right ventricular hypertrophy. Providing a logical, clear, and complete approach to the subject, Learning Electrocardiography: A Complete Course, Fourth Edition is the resource to use when learning or reviewing electrocardiography.
