Produktbeschreibung

Interpreting an ECG correctly is an essential skill for evaluating the condition of a patient. This volume helps students and healthcare practitioners identify and answer crucial questions such as whether abnormalities are significant, necessitating a referral to the emergency department, inpatient ward, or outpatient setting. The book describes how the ECG works and explains important functions such as the axis, PR and QT intervals, QRS complex, ST segment, and the P, Q, T, and U waves. It also discusses artifacts on the ECG, pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, ambulatory ECG recording, exercise ECG testing, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
