Critical Cases in Electrocardiography: An Annotated Atlas of Don't-Miss ECGs for Emergency Medicine and Critical Care 1st Edition

Master EKG Interpretation with a Clinical Focus

This book emphasizes clinically-relevant topics, focusing squarely on situations where the interpretation of the ECG contributes to clinical decision-making. This unique atlas includes numerous examples of ECG "misses" and is designed to encourage self-study by including full-page tracings in their natural color. The book focuses on "don't miss" ECG tracings to help readers advance beyond the stage of a "competent" electrocardiographer.
