EKG Plain and Simple : From Rhythm Strips to

For courses covering EKG. Using a conversational tone, this all-inclusive guide to electrocardiography discusses basic to advanced topics such as rhythm strip analysis, 12-lead EKG interpretation, recognition of a heart attack in progress, and the constantly evolving treatment of arrhythmia. Its comprehen- sive treatment and hundreds of sample strips emphasize not only the need for practice to perfect skills, but explanations to understand answersand what makes each one of them correct.
