Cardiac Dysrhythmia Interpretation: Workbook, Paperback

This workbook was written to provide students with a basic overview of cardiac anatomy, physiology, electrophysiology and electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation. It is ideally suited for use in the classroom. However, this most recent edition has been redesigned to assist the student who wishes to learn on his/her own. It also includes QR codes that link to educational videos. Learning to interpret ECGs is a game of searching for clues and evidence that will lead you to a correct interpretation. It can be fun and easy when you learn to use a systematic approach. Like any other skill, interpreting E.C.G.s needs to be done routinely, for the knowledge and skill to be retained.
