ECG For Nurses (Paperback)

Key Features
* This book has been designed to present the intriguing subject of electrocardiography in a format that is easy to understand, ready to assimilate and handy for reference.
* Initial chapters are devoted to basic principles, nomenclature of deflections, and determination of heart rate and electrical axis.
* This is followed by an account of the potential abnormalities involving the various deflections and the intervening segments, with due emphasis on their causation and clinical relevance.
* The latter chapters deals with the cardiac arrhythmias where apparently similar arrhythmias are discussed together to compare their mechanism, causation, recognition and management.
