It will serve not only as a starter text but also as an immediate bedside reference manual. Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics begins with fundamentals such as how to perform, record and interpret a normal ECG before progressing onto more complex topics, including what effects anatomical abnormalities of the heart, cardiac and non-cardiac conditions can have on the ECG. Each chapter has been supplemented with a multitude of images and diagrams to illustrate points and ease understanding, and concludes with both a summary of key points to reinforce knowledge and a quiz for reflective learning. Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics is an updated version of that previously published by CriticAir and an essential resource for medical students, junior doctors, nurses, paramedics and other health care professionals involved in the recording and interpretation of ECGs who wish to build their knowledge and confidence. 606 $aCardiology 606 $aMedicine 606 $aCritical care medicine 606 $aCardiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037 606 $aMedicine/Public Health, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007 606 $aIntensive / Critical Care Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H3100X 615 0$aCardiology. 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aCritical care medicine. 615 14$aCardiology. 615 24$aMedicine/Public Health, general. 615 24$aIntensive / Critical Care Medicine. 676 $a616.1207547 700 $aDavies$b Alan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0287681 702 $aScott$b Alwyn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300346903321 996 $aStarting to Read ECGs$92528732 997 $aUNINA
