The ECG in Practice is a clinically-orientated book showing how the electrocardiogram is used to help diagnosing patients with cardiovascular disease. Each chapter begins with a brief consideration of the history and examination of the patient to assist the doctor plan how to use the ECG in the most intelligent and profitable way.
"An excellent value for money pocketbook reference for anyone dealing with ECGs on a regular basis, whether rhythm strips or twelve leads. If you understand the cardiac axis and the chest lead progression then you should have no problem with understanding the contents. The chapters are sensibly grouped into; healthy people, palpitations and syncope, chest pain, breathlessness, and non cardiac influences; the main reasons why you would be recording an ECG. The wide range of examples often overlooked in other texts is bound to be useful as there are twenty examples of what can be normal , and this should help the reader from falling into the trap of diagnosing ECGs by what they look like. Also included are useful reminders on interpretation, and plenty of clinical information. The only drawback is that the recordings are all reduced in size, and the manner by which limb leads and chest leads are grouped on the page could be improved
