Basic Arrhythmias, Eighth Edition, gives beginning students a strong basic understanding of the common, uncomplicated rhythms that are a foundation for further learning and success in electrocardiography. Concepts are presented in a flexible, progressive approach to allow for self-paced or classroom learning. Chapters cover basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias. Basic Arrhythmias includes appendices on Clinical Implications, Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology, 12-Lead Electrocardiography, Basic 12-Lead Interpretation, and Pathophysiology of Arrhythmias. Practice EKG rhythm strips are included in most chapters to give students extensive, realistic hands-on practice-the single most important element in developing arrhythmia interpretation skills. KEY TOPICS: Electrophysiology; Waves and Measurements; Analyzing EKG Rhythm Strips; Sinus Rhythms; Atrial Rhythms; Junctional Rhythms; Heart Blocks; Ventricular Rhythms; Practice Makes Perfect; Final Challenge; Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology; Pathophysiology and Clinical Implications of Arrhythmias; 12-Lead Electrocardiography; Basic 12-Lead Interpretation; Pacemakers MARKET: This is a perfect resource for any practicing health care professionals who need to learn or review basic EKG or arrhythmia concepts.
