Rezensionen

From the foreword by Professor Christopher Cannon:

"Professor Gertsch has compiled a wonderful book that covers all aspects of electrocardiography but with a very practical and clinically useful approach...."

From the reviews:

"This single-authored book covers all aspects of electrocardiography from a clinical and practical view. ... this book very useful for all levels of physicians caring for cardiac patients and health-care professionals. The book is fully illustrated with more than one thousand high quality ECGs, figures and tables. It will offer many individuals who interpret electrocardiograms the necessary educational 'building blocks' required to increase their knowledge of the subject and to improve their interpretation skills." (Roland Stroobandt, Acta Cardiologica, April, 2005)
