“Cardiac Telemetry Basics†was written to provide instructional information to assist individuals learning to identify and understand the various heart rhythms and arrhythmias observed on telemetry. In addition to explaining rhythm strip interpretation, this book includes chapters that discuss various heart diseases and conditions, diagnostic testing, invasive and non-invasive procedures, pacemakers, cardiac terminology, and a few interesting facts rergarding some of the more commonly seen cardiac medications used in treatment. Written in an “east to read, easy to understand†format and presented with several illustrations of rhythm strip tracings to provide a visual means to aid in the assimilation of the written material, this book provides you with the information necessary to give you a basic introduction into the patient care field that incorporates the use of cardiac telemetry.

This comprehensive test book is designed to provide a means for you to perform a self evalution of your comprehension of the material reviewed in the book "Cardiac Telemetry Basics". Its 52 pages contain a 104 question comprehension test, 44 practice rhythm strip tracings that cover a multitude of rythms and arrhythmias, answer key and an author comment section that gives detailed and more in-depth explanations that will aid in helping you to understand how some of the answers were arrived at.

Geared to LPNs/LVNs, this quick-reference pocket book provides an easy-to-understand guide to ECG interpretation and features over 200 clearly explained ECG rhythm strips. Following a refresher on relevant cardiac anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology, the book presents the 8-step method for reading any rhythm strip. Subsequent chapters explain various cardiac rate and rhythm abnormalities, including sinus node arrhythmias, atrial arrhythmias, junctional arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and atrioventricular blocks. Arrhythmias are covered in a consistent format—causes, significance, ECG characteristics, signs and symptoms, and interventions. Coverage also includes ECG characteristics of disorders, drugs, pacemakers, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and a chapter on basic 12-lead electrocardiography.
