Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Reading an ECG correctly and working out what to do next is an invaluable skill for any doctor, nurse or paramedic when evaluating the condition of a patient.

Making Sense of the ECG: Cases for Self Assessment helps students and more experienced healthcare practitioners to consolidate their knowledge of ECG interpretation through real-life scenarios. The patients' history, examination and initial investigations are presented along with questions on the ECG interpretation, allowing readers to assess their ability to interpret ECGs accurately, perform differential diagnosis and decide upon the most appropriate clinical management in each situation. Detailed explanatory answers respond to the questions posed, as well as providing practical clinical guidance and essential revision support.

Key features:

  • Convenient format – ideal for both rapid reference and the presentation of full 12-lead ECG traces throughout
  • Strong clinical emphasis – encourages you to put principles into practice
  • Detailed explanations – aid in-depth learning
  • Learn, revise and test yourself – use regularly to refresh your knowledge and ideal during exam preparation

Used alongside the popular textbook Making Sense of the ECG: A Hands-on Guide 6E, or independently, as a vital tool to consolidate knowledge and prepare for clinical practice, this latest edition has been fully updated in line with the latest management guidelines and features a new appendix listing the key diagnosis in each ECG, making it easier to locate topics for revision.
