2nd edition enriched with:
- 30 new ECGs and color diagrams
- 4 new chapters
- 20 clinical cases and their answers
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental examination for the diagnosis, initiation of treatment or management of patients with an acute pathology in an appropriate channel. It is extraordinary to see that we are always discovering new ECG signs and new interpretations that enable 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 help you diagnose and guide 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 210 ECGs and diagrams in color;
- 20 clinical cases and their corrections for self-assessment
