Abstract:	This practical, comprehensive text serves as a step-by-step, "hands on" workbook for those learning to interpret 12-Lead EKGs. With over 45 years of experience in cardiac care, authors Green and Chiaramida present the content and technical understanding students need to accurately analyze, interpret, and "comprehend" the variety of rhythm strips that make up12-lead EKGs. This book introduces basic principles of anatomy and physiology, including a review of the heart's electrical system. The chapters discuss vital elements of cardiology, such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities and heart block, ischemic and nonischemic disorders, and more. Explanations of terms and concepts are concise and to the point, allowing students to focus on the most important information. With this book, medical and nursing students will gain the confidence they need to accurately interpret 12-lead EKGs.
