Because arrhythmias can present in so many different forms, the
only way to be certain of an interpretation is to understand the
underlying ECG mechanism of the arrhythmia. This is especially
important in choosing a management strategy, as similar arrhythmias
of differing origin may have vastly different therapies/treatments.
Unfortunately, standard teaching methods can seem to divorce the
theoretical knowledge required for diagnosis from the hands-on
reading of ECGs.
To achieve a balance of practicality and competency, the two
parts of this book are equally divided between concrete example and
didactic theory. Section I provides multiple ECG readings of the
most commonly encountered simple and complex arrhythmias, and
includes differential diagnoses where appropriate. These readings
are presented with a minimum of theory, and are repetitively
presented in multiple permutations, as they would be encountered in
the ECG reading room or on the wards. Section II provides a more
in-depth discussion of ECG mechanisms and arrhythmogenesis.
Attention is focused on the relevant underlying electrophysiology
and the deductive processes used to reach the diagnoses of complex
arrhythmias.
This book can serve as a quick and handy reference for
systematic, rule-based arrhythmic diagnoses, as well as an
authoritative teaching text for learning the underlying theory and
mechanics. It will be of great interest to students and clinicians
at all levels, including cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and
others who care for patients with cardiovascular disease, ICU and
ER staff, emergency physicians, anesthesiologist, and surgeons.
