Making Sense of the ECG Summary

Making Sense of the ECG: A Hands-On Guide, Fourth Edition by Andrew Houghton (MA(Oxon) DM FRCP(Lond) FRCP(Glasg) Consultant Cardiologist, Grantham and District Hospital, UK and Visiting Fellow, University of Lincoln, UK)

Highly Commended, BMA Medical Book Awards 2015

Interpreting an ECG correctly and working out what to do next can seem like a daunting task to the non-specialist, yet it is a skill that will be invaluable to any doctor, nurse, or paramedic when evaluating the condition of a patient.

Making Sense of the ECG has been written specifically with this in mind, and will help the student and more experienced healthcare practitioner to identify and answer crucial questions, including:

Are these abnormalities significant?
How to I distinguish between VT and SVT?
Has the patient had a myocardial infarction?
How do I measure the QT interval?
Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist?

This practical, easy-to-read and easy-to-remember guide to the ECG as a tool for diagnosis and management has been fully updated in its fourth edition to reflect the latest guidelines.

Making Sense of the ECG Reviews

"The book's primary strength is its broad appeal. It is a great reference for medical students and interns or noncardiovascular subspecialists. Illustrations are plentiful, which is essential to recognizing ECG patterns."
Shawn Ragbir, MD for Doody's Review Service
