• Sommario/riassunto: The advances in technology surrounding pacemakers has led to an inevitable increase in the complexity of ECG interpretation of pacemaker-generated rhythms. Simplified Interpretation of Pacemaker ECGs offers a step-by-step description of pacemaker ECG interpretations. An invaluable resource for cardiologists, residents, house officers, general clinicians, and nurse practitioners, this text includes:a step-by-step description of pacemaker ECG interpretations a brief refresher course on basic ECG interpretation with an overview of the conduction system of the heart
