ECG Interpretation (Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice) - Softcover

This full-color handbook features more than 200 waveforms that demonstrate the most important characteristics of all the common arrhythmias. The book explains the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology, rhythm strips, and 12-lead ECGs and covers all the common arrhythmias as well as ECG effects of various disorders. Coverage includes antiarrhythmic drug actions and adverse effects and nonpharmacologic treatments such as radiofrequency ablation, ICDs, and biventricular pacemakers.

Key telltale abnormalities are highlighted on each rhythm strip. Icons call attention to dangerous rhythms, differences in similar patterns, and red-flag alerts. Scores of practice strips are also included.
