A concise and easy-to-use guide to ECG interpretation, this book takes
the complex subject of cardiac electrophysiology and presents it in a
clear, full-colour format designed specifically for paramedics and those
working in the out of hospital environment.
Presented as independently accessible sections, the reader is taken from
the basics of cardiac anatomy, physiology and fundamental ECG
principles, through to arrhythmia recognition and 12-lead ECG
interpretation. The inclusion of information on clinical signs and
symptoms, underlying causes and differentials, and management decisions
for each presentation places the reader's ECG learning clearly in the
context of their wider clinical knowledge and experience. Practice ECGs
and case-based scenarios enable the reader to consolidate their learning
and understanding.
Applying ECG interpretation to paramedic practice and clinical
presentations, this book is an essential learning resource for both
students who are new to the subject as well as prehospital professionals
hoping to expand and consolidate their knowledge.
