For junior doctors, qualified nurses, paramedics and GPs who already understand the basics of the electrocardiogram (ECG), this reference guide will support diagnosis and treatment decisions. The ECG Made Practical is a clinically-orientated book, showing how the ECG can help in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with symptoms suggesting cardiovascular disease. The underlying philosophy of this eighth edition remains that the ECG has to be interpreted in the light of the patient's history and physical examination, thus the book is organised in chapters according to a patient's symptoms. - Clinically-orientated with a quick reference list of cardiovascular conditions – ideal for use in the clinic. - Builds on the basic knowledge outlined in the classic The ECG Made Easy – an essential part of the mini-series. - Emphasises the individuality of every ECG and uses full 12-lead ECG recordings to provide a realistic reproduction of the clinical environment. - The unique page size allows presentation of 12-lead ECGs across a single page for clarity. - All ECGs taken from real patients from the authors' clinical practice. - In this edition we address the abundance of new ECG sources, especially wearable devices, by providing a new focus on how to use these traces and how best to spot artefact from abnormality. - New flow chart to aid interpretation and reporting.

This convenient, money saving package provides you with all the tools to learn and practice the art of ECG interpretation. The ECGs Made Easy Study Cards consist of 500, full-color flashcards and is the perfect tool for individual review of rhythm strips. Also ideal for group study, the study cards feature an anatomy review and plenty of practice for basic dysrhythmias and 12-lead strips, all in a randomized order for real-world practice. With 450 additional and unique strips, it's the ideal study tool to accompany the ECGs Made Easy textbook that can be referred to for more detailed explanations and rationale.

A guide to reading and understanding rhythm strips and 12-lead ECGs, this updated edition reviews fundamental cardiac anatomy and physiology, explains how to interpret a rhythm strip, and teaches the reader how to recognize and treat 18 arrhythmias.

".A significant resource of information for medical students and junior medical staff, as well as for those wishing to refresh their knowledge." By Perfusion, Apr 2015 Clinically-orientated with a quick reference list of cardiovascular conditions Builds on the basic knowledge outlined in the classic ECG Made Easy Emphasises the individuality of every ECG and uses full 12-lead ECG recordings to provide a realistic reproduction of the clinical environment. The unique page size allows presentation of all 12-lead ECGs across a single page for clarity. Each chapter begins with a brief account of the relevant history and examination and ends with a short account of what might be done once the ECG has been interpreted. Now integrated throughout the book is text on electrophysiology and electrical devices. With pacemakers and implanted defibrillators now common among patients on general medical take, this material guides the reader in recognising their purpose and making a preliminary analysis of any malfunction.

150 ECG Cases presents clinical problems in the shape of simple case histories together with the relevant ECG. Detailed answers concentrate on the clinical interpretation of the results and give advice on what to do. The book can be used as a standalone method of practising ECG interpretation, and even with the most difficult ECGs a beginner will be able to make an accurate description of the trace and will be guided towards the key aspects of the interpretation. - The unique page size allows presentation of 12-lead ECGs across a single page for clarity. - Several of the cases incorporate chest X-rays and coronary angiograms illustrating the appearances that are associated with various cardiac conditions. - All the cases are graded in difficulty and are cross-referenced to the new editions of ECG Made Easy and ECG Made Practical for further information. This Fifth Edition has been re-ordered into two parts: - Part 1 Everyday ECGs: The 75 ECGs in this section are examples of those commonly seen in clinical practice. There are several examples of the most important abnormalities, together with examples of common variations of normality. - Part 2 More Challenging ECGs: The 75 ECGs in this section are more demanding and include ECG patterns seen less often in clinical practice. For this Fifth Edition over fifteen per cent new ECGs have been included, mainly to provide clearer examples, though the book deliberately retains some technically poor records to maintain a 'real-world' perspective

For more than 25 years, The Only EKG Book You’ll Ever Need has lived up to its name as an easy-to-understand, practical, and clear reference for everyday practice and clinical decision making. Dr. Thaler’s ability to simplify complex concepts makes this an ideal tool for students, teachers, and practitioners at all levels who need to be competent in understanding how to read an EKG. Clear illustrations, clinical examples, and case studies help you quickly learn how identify and interpret hypertrophy and enlargement, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, pre-excitation syndromes, myocardial infarction, and more. Features: New material throughout and shortened and simplified explanations ensure that you’re reading the most up-to-date, clear, and accurate text available. More than 200 facsimiles of EKG strips provide greater insight into normal and abnormal tracings, increasing your understanding of their clinical significance. Clinical examples, interactive questions, and case studies put key concepts into real-world context so that what you learn is immediately usable. Full-color, simple illustrations highlight important concepts and make challenging concepts easier to understand. A companion ebook, with fully searchable text and interactive question bank, makes this a great resource for students, teachers, and practitioners.
