Abstract

Doody Rating : 3 stars : ECG Made Easy presents this intriguing subject in a format which is easy-to-understand, ready to assimilate and handy for reference. The initial chapters are devoted to basic principles, nomenclature of waves and to the calculation of heart rate and electrical axis. This is followed by potential abnormalities of the various deflections and their intervening segments, with due emphasis on causation and clinical relevance. The later section deals with cardiac arrhythmias in which apparently similar rhythms are discussed together in one chapter. This helps to compare their mechanism, causation, recognition and management. It is my privilege to present this vastly improved fourth edition of ECG Made Easy with many more real graphs and illustrative diagrams. The book is meant for those keen-to-learn electrocardiography from basics to therapeutics in a short-time. It should serve as an ideal ready-reference book for students, paramedics and clinicians.
