Designed not only to give you the facts, but to help you understand
and remember them, Learning Electrocardiography: A Complete Course,
Fourth Edition is a learning tool for students and a reference for
advanced trainees and technicians. The author's step-by-step
teaching method lets you focus on the information as you need it
and proceed at your own pace. He combines twenty years of teaching
experience with the latest information on new methods and uses of
electrocardiography. Brief and to the point, the text explains how
an electrocardiograph works, how to draw a hexaxial system, plot
vectors, produce a good ECG tracing, and draw a spatial vector. You
will learn how to produce a technically good electrocardiograph,
perform an office exercise test without a treadmill, and recognize
the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without the
necessity of diagnosing right ventricular hypertrophy. Providing a
logical, clear, and complete approach to the subject, Learning
Electrocardiography: A Complete Course, Fourth Edition is the
resource to use when learning or reviewing electrocardiography.
Now in its fourth edition, this book presents a complete course in electrocardiography (ECG) for students and a reference for advanced trainees and technicians. The author's step-by-step approach lets readers focus only on needed information and proceed at their own pace. Brief and to the point, the text explains how an electrocardiograph works, how to draw a hexaxial system, plot vectors, produce a good ECG tracing, and how to draw a spatial vector. Advanced material is clearly marked, allowing students to work through the complete text with just enough theory to understand the facts and providing advanced trainees with a review and foundation for further study.
Essentials of Bedside Cardiology, Second Edition, like the first
edition, is designed for those who wish to balance technological
advances with increased personal skill in history taking and
physical examination. It is important to teach physicians that all
technologies now in use for diagnosing cardiovascular disorders,
such as echocardiography, can have false positive and false
negative results. It is not always wise to rely on these
technologies alone; indeed, they may not even be available in some
settings. Even when the full panoply of up-to-date techniques is at
the physician's disposal, the patient may not be a good candidate
for an echocardiogram, or the technician or reader may not be well
qualified, or the equipment itself may be substandard. Technology
must be combined with physical examination to decide what is true
and what is false. The practice of expert history taking and
physical examination returns the physician to the actual patient,
where the physician can feel like a "real doctor" rather than a
mere interpreter of laboratory data. Essentials of Bedside
Cardiology, Second Edition, strives to teach and not simply to tell
the facts, relying on three basic methods derived from the
psychology of teaching and learning: 1. Explain the facts. 2. Use a
question and answer format-the Socratic method. 3. Provide tricks
or mnemonics to help the reader remember the facts.
