An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is a simple test that records the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart. It is commonly used to detect abnormal heart rhythms and investigate the cause of chest pains. It is important for clinicians to recognise and interpret ECG patterns accurately to ensure correct diagnosis and effective treatment. This atlas is a quick reference tool presenting numerous normal and abnormal ECG patterns and schematic diagrams. Each case is accompanied by a brief commentary discussing the abnormality. The book is divided into two sections – Deep Analysis Section and Quick Diagnosis Section, giving trainees a strong foundation of the concept of ECG, and then an understanding of the diagnosis of a wide range of cardiac abnormalities. Key points Quick reference presenting normal and abnormal ECG patterns Brief commentary helps explain each case Includes self assessment section Nearly 300 ECG graphs, schematic diagrams and illustrations

For a busy clinician in the Emergency Department, the ability to spot a lethal cardiac condition is critical. Rapid Interpretation of ECGs in Emergency Medicine fills a gap in ECG training in an easy-to-use, highly visual format. ECG patterns, gathered from patient records and from the files of physicians at the Harvard-affiliated hospitals, represent the range of pathologies that hospitalists, internal medicine physicians, family medicine physicians, and emergency medicine physicians must recognize. The format of Rapid Interpretation of ECGs in Emergency Medicine is to first show an ECG in its native state to give you the chance to recognize and interpret salient features. The page can then be flipped to look at the same ECG with abnormal patterns enlarged, highlighted in color, and described in brief text. The ECGs are presented with and without annotations so you can test your diagnostic skills.
