This guide to the proper use of the ECG in diagnosing acute
myocardial infarction puts the combined experience of international
authorities at your fingertips for immediate use. In The 12 Lead
ECG in ST Elevation MI: A Practical Approach for Clinicians,
Drs. Bayés de Luna, Fiol-Sala and Antman supply the practical,
specific information you need to determine which patients with ACS
are showing ST elevation.
To facilitate correct diagnosis and guide management, the
authors use a consistent sequence to explain the ECG abnormalities
for each site of coronary occlusion. A schematic of the coronary
tree illustrates the point of occlusion.
The second part of the book contains a self-assessment section with
a series of 15 cases, each of which includes one or more 12-lead
ECGs for analysis. These valuable examples help you prepare for
on-the-spot interpretation in the emergency department or intensive
care unit.
