Summary

Provides introduction to ECG interpretation, for the non-expert.

Making Sense of the ECG Summary

Making Sense of the ECG: A Hands-on Guide, Third Edition by Andrew Houghton (MA(Oxon) DM FRCP(London & Glasgow), Consultant Cardiologist, Grantham and District Hospital, Grantham, UK)

Electrocardiography is one of the most common investigations performed by physicians, surgeons, general practitioners, nursing staff and paramedics. For cardiologists or those who read ECGs every day, pattern recognition in ECGs can become fairly straightforward; for most others even basic ECGs can present problems. If you are a non-expert, a trainee, or simply lack confidence in reliably interpreting ECGs, Making Sense of the ECG is designed for you.


Find answers to the following important questions:


* How do I interpret this ECG?

* Are these abnormalities significant?

* How do I distinguish between VT and SVT?

* Has this patient had a myocardial infarction?

* How do I measure a QT interval?

* Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist?


Or, simply, what should I do next?

Making Sense of the ECG Reviews

This book delivers a clear, concise, and sensible approach to ECG interpretation. It is an excellent and invaluable pocket-sized resource for medical professionals who require basic ECG interpretation skills in the management of their patients.
-Yabiz Seghi, Ochsner Clinic Foundation, Doody's Review


If you're going to buy an ECG book, I would make it this one.
