✦ Synopsis

Тема: кардиология This outstanding text and workbook is the leading reference for students, practicing nurses, paramedics, and other health professionals learning ECG interpretation. Thoroughly updated with new figures and easy-to-follow text, ECG Workout is an excellent guide to rhythm analysis that builds on the students knowledge in a step-by-step fashion to broaden understanding of essential ECG concepts and hone the skills necessary to confidently and accurately interpret ECG waveforms. Coverage includes cardiac anatomy and physiology, electrophysiology, waveforms, arrhythmias, and pacemakers. The book includes over 600 ECG strips illustrating a wide variety of conditions, end-of-chapter practice tests, a comprehensive posttest, a glossary, and answer keys at the back of the book. Handy bonus flashcards provide additional practice. The latest ACLS guidelines are also included. |
