Dr Khan has improved upon the first edition and written a clear and concise step-by-step method for the accurate interpretation of the ECG. Noted for the unique 11-step method for accurate and rapid ECG interpretation, this new edition includes more diagnostic tips for the understanding of ECGs.
New to this edition is a series of illustrations to explain the genesis of wave and deflection of the ECG. In addition, a clear description of 12 lead positioning and interpretation guides the reader to greater understanding of the potential pitfalls of the ECG. This edition includes over 230 illustrations, including 30 new tracings to elucidate difficult points. It also addresses the progress of cardiovascular practice and how the ECG is important to current clinical practice, including early diagnosis of acute MI, and a greater understanding of ST segment in diagnosing cardiovascular problems.
