Now in its Sixth Edition, this popular, practical text presents all the information clinicians need to use the EKG in everyday practice and interpret hypertrophy and enlargement, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, pre-excitation syndromes, and myocardial infarction. It is an ideal reference for medical students in ICM courses, house officers, or anyone directly involved in patient care, whether student, teacher, or practitioner. The book includes more than 200 facsimiles of EKG strips and numerous clinical cases. This edition features new and updated clinical cases, more clinically oriented discussions of EKG findings, and expanded coverage of important topics such as the long QT syndrome and sudden cardiac death.

A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, an image bank, an interactive question bank, and an EKG image with explanation test bank.

This updated CD-ROM/workbook package provides a thorough, interactive tutorial on electrocardiogram interpretation and a comprehensive, easily navigable reference library of common and uncommon electrocardiograms. The CD-ROM, updated to the Flash platform, contains 630 ECGs grouped into three levels of complexity: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Each tracing is labeled with color-coded annotation arrows and accompanied by a clinical history, interpretation, and list of diagnostic keywords. The keywords can be used for quick searches when retrieving examples of specific electrocardiogram findings and diagnoses. At the end of each level are 10 non-disclosed tracings with multiple-choice questions.

The workbook contains reproductions of each electrocardiogram on the CD-ROM. The user will examine the workbook, then code the answer into the CD-ROM and receive immediate feedback.

Basic and Bedside Electrocardiography is the first book to integrate the basics of ECG interpretation with the most recent clinical guidelines for treating patients with ECG abnormalities. Each concise, bulleted chapter discusses a disease state, gives many tracings as examples, provides clear illustrations of pathophysiology, and offers guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of specific entities.

More than 600 illustrations aid readers in recognizing commonly encountered ECG abnormalities. Diagrammatic illustrations at the end of most chapters summarize the different ECG abnormalities discussed, to help readers recognize the different arrhythmias more easily. An appendix provides quick-reference information on commonly used intravenous agents.

The gold standard text on interpretation of ECG recordings is now in its revised Eleventh Edition. Coverage of arrhythmias—the largest portion of the book—has been thoroughly updated for this edition, and more than 400 new illustrations have been added.

The book is filled with ECG recordings, anatomical drawings, and dozens of tables, and has a reader-friendly design with strategic use of a second color. Glossaries at the end of each chapter reinforce new terms. For this edition, the author has created a more functional layout.

A bound-in CD-ROM includes animations correlated with ECGs.
