electrophysiology.
• Identification of principal waveform components and scores of
illustrations for essential ECG concepts.
• Easy, five-step method for analyzing any rhythm strip.
• Chapters covering the most common arrhythmias, sinus
arrhythmias, atrial arrhythmias, junctional arrhythmias and
AV blocks, ventricular arrhythmias and bundle-branch blocks,
pacemakers, all with typical waveforms.
• Hardwire and telemetry monitoring equipment and troubleshooting
tips.
