ECGs and Basic Arrhythmia Recognition

Learn to read an ECG with confidence, with no prior cardiology background required.

When the monitor alarms and a rhythm scrolls across the screen, the difference between a calm, correct response and a dangerous delay is whether you can actually read what you are seeing. This book builds that skill from the ground up.

• How the heart works: anatomy and the electrical conduction system
• Electrode placement for 4-lead, 10-electrode and 12-lead ECGs
• Every waveform, segment and interval, and a repeatable method for interpreting any tracing
• Sinus, atrial and junctional rhythms, ventricular rhythms, AV heart blocks and the patterns that demand immediate action
