This brand new guide assists students, interns and residents in developing a functional understanding of the set-up, workings and interpretation of ECGs
* Step-by-step graphics and short, bite-sized explanations
* Covers all major cardiac abnormalities including hypertrophy, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, and pre-excitation syndromes
* Begins with a section on physiology of the heart and the basic set up of ECG recording
* Features top tips on what to look for, complete with illustrated examples
* Supported by a companion website featuring additional practice tracings
