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. A unique 'Flip and See' section allows you to view normal ECGs on one side of the page and abnormal ECGs on the other, along with concise text that clearly explains the differences between them. In addition, you'll find commonly asked questions and answers throughout the text.

This simple, innovative method for understanding and interpreting 3-lead ECG readings is now revised and updated. Complex concepts are presented in a fun, engaging format that uses humour, cartoons, and personal stories to guide the reader through the entire ECG process, from finding a heart beat, taking an electrocardiogram, interpreting the patients heart rhythm to understanding how to treat the patient. Commonly asked questions and answers are interspersed throughout the text to help clarify concepts and procedures. Building on basic concepts presented in the first part of the book, the second part teaches readers how to interpret 25 common dysrhythmias and provides the description and treatment of each. The sample ECG strips can be studied as a whole, or separated at a perforation to create over 260 different ECG rhythms.
