| Summary |
This practical and comprehensive text serves as a step-by-step 'hands on' workbook approach to learning 12-Lead EKG interpretation. The authors introduce the content and technical understanding needed for the student to interpret, analyze, and 'comprehend' the variety of rhythm strips involved with 12-lead EKGs. The book begins by discussing basic principles of anatomy and physiology, including a review of the heart's electrical system. The remaining chapters introduce the most vital concepts to be mastered before continuing on. Each section is also followed by convenient practice worksheets |
