ECG Interpretation -- Contents -- Contributors and consultants -- Foreword -- Basic electrocardiography -- Sinus node arrhythmias -- Atrial arrhythmias -- Junctional arrhythmias -- Ventricular arrhythmias -- Atrioventricular blocks -- ECG effects of electrolyte imbalances -- ECG effects of antiarrhythmics -- Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators -- Basic 12-lead electrocardiography -- Advanced electrocardiography -- Appendices -- Quick guide to cardiac arrhythmias -- Cardiac drug overview -- Best monitoring leads -- Depolarization-repolarization cycle -- Action potential curves -- Cardiac conduction system -- Selected references -- Index.

This quick-reference handbook presents the essential, need-to-know facts on ECG interpretation in an easy-to-scan bulleted format, with anatomical illustrations and hundreds of waveforms in various clinical presentations. The book provides step-by-step instructions on applying electrodes, selecting leads, and performing 12-lead ECGs and offers guidelines for swiftly and accurately interpreting ECGs. All common arrhythmias are graphically illustrated, and a rapid-scan technique for arrhythmia identification is given. Coverage includes drug effects on ECGs and how pacemaker waveforms appear on ECGs. Appendices include a quick guide to arrhythmias, an overview of cardiac drugs, the depolarization-repolarization cycle, action potential curves, the cardiac conduction system, and an arrhythmia chart with best monitoring lead.
