This second edition offers even more clinical cases and three new chapters, which are just as educational as ever, supplementing the descriptions of rhythm disorders.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental examination for the diagnosis, initiation of treatment or management in a pathway adapted to patients with an acute pathology. It is extraordinary to see that we are always discovering new ECG signs, new interpretations that allow us to refine a diagnosis and thus save precious time for the patient. This examination alone can trigger the treatment of an arrhythmia, a myocardial infarction or certain metabolic disorders.
This book is an indispensable tool to assist you in the diagnosis and referral of your patients. In it, you will find:
> the main keys to understanding and interpreting ECGs according to a very specific clinical symptomatology in the context of an emergency;
> the physiological bases for understanding the main electrocardiographic signs;
> more than 190 ECGs and color diagrams;
> 20 clinical cases and their corrections for self-assessment.
Written by Prof. Adnet, head of the Paris SAMU (emergency medical services), URG' ECG is educational, easy to use and practical. Suitable for all healthcare professionals (students, interns and experienced doctors), it is an essential aid in your daily practice.
