Introduction To Electrocardiography HB

Out Of Print... A concise account of electrocardiography, which assumes no prior specialist knowledge, given in a manner which allows deductive analysis of the electrocardiogram. it is profusely illustrated, but is more than an atlas, as the text gives a detailed review of the subject. Based on the authors wide experience of teaching to undergraduates, postgraduates and nurses, both in Great Britain and the USA, it is suitable as a first book on the subject for the medical student, recent graduate, coronary care or intensive care nurse, or the family doctor who is starting to take his own electrocardiograms. The topics include some fundamental considerations of the processes underlying the electro cardiogram, patterns of ventricular hypertrophy, bundle branch block, myocardial infarction and ischaemia, and the more usual disturbances of rhythm. Recent knowledge of re-entry mechanisms in junctional tachycardias and the trifasicular nature of the conducting system is fully integrated in the text.
