Anyone seeking to cross the bridge between basic cardiac electrophysiology and clinical cardiology will find this book useful. Quick Look: ECG Interpretation reviews concepts in physics and physiology that form the basis of understanding how an electrical signal is produced in the heart and recorded on the skin, and then applies these concepts to the normal and abnormal ECG. Composite illustrations communicate key concepts clearly and effectively and a glossary of Key Terms is included. The Self-Test challenges the student to recognize twenty-nine normal and abnormal tracings, to make diagnoses, and to comment on their findings.
