The ECG Made Practical, 7th Edition
The ECG Made Practical is a clinically-oriented book, showing how the electrocardiogram can help in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with symptoms suggesting cardiovascular disease. The underlying philosophy of this Seventh Edition remains that the ECG has to be interpreted in the light of the patient's history and physical examination; thus the book is organized in chapters according to a patient's symptoms.
New to this edition
The ECG is a vital part of diagnosis and prolonged ambulatory ECG recording is now common place. This Seventh Edition includes a greater focus on ambulatory monitoring and the newer monitoring devices; while developments in pacing systems and defibrillators are described.
