Taking it one step further than other EKG textbooks. What’s new:
Learning the ECG is a valuable skill for both medical practitioners and non-practitioners. Knowing how to interpret ECG readings will help with understanding how specific features of a person’s heart can affect him or her. This knowledge will guide appropriate care, and prevent undesirable complications from happening.
This book is intended to be a beginner’s guide that will provide a mental framework for more advanced topics. Reading this is enough for you to comprehend ECG readings, but you need to know as much as you can so that you can provide the best care.
Study this book and other materials thoroughly. If there is something you do not understand, seek clarification before moving on to something else, to minimize your confusion. The more you understand something, the better you will be able to respond to it – especially during emergencies.
Each chapter includes exercises. The answers to these are found at the end of the book. Answering these will serve as your review for the chapter.
With that being said, let us begin with the basics of ECG – what it is, what it does, and what you need to prepare for it.
