Interpreting an ECG correctly and working out what to do next can seem like a daunting task to the non-specialist, yet it is a skill that will be invaluable to any doctor, nurse, or paramedic when evaluating the condition of a patient. Making Sense of the ECG has been written specifically with this in mind, and will help the student and more experienced healthcare practitioner to identify and answer crucial questions, including: Are these abnormalities significant? How to I distinguish between VT and SVT? Has the patient had a myocardial infarction? How do I measure the QT interval? Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist? This practical, easy-to-read and easy-to-remember guide to the ECG as a tool for diagnosis and management has been fully updated in its fourth edition to reflect the latest guidelines.
The sixth edition of this guide enhances its accessibility and practicality for diagnosing and managing ECGs, incorporating the latest guidelines. New chapters focus on essential skills, such as reading ECG recordings and identifying critical ECG cases that should not be overlooked. This updated resource is designed to aid both beginners and experienced practitioners in effectively utilizing ECGs in clinical settings.
