Appropriate for courses in: EKG for Health Professions, EKG Interpretation and EKG for Medical Assisting.
Unlike some pocket guides, which are miniature versions of textbooks a few hundred pages long, this pocket guide EKG in a Heartbeat has the tools readers need to help them read rhythm strips and 12-lead EKGs. Fast, accurate, and to the point in under 100 pages.
EKG in a Heartbeat is not intended as an elementary text on electrocardiography. It’s a "how to do it" guide. It presumes at least a basic knowledge of EKG principles.
