The 12-Lead Electrocardiogram

THE 12-LEAD ELECTROCARDIOGRAM is a concise, but comprehensive, review of the science of electrocardiography. The basic electrophysiology behind the EKG is reviewed in depth, yet the book is clinically oriented. Over one hundred full sized high-resolution electrocardiograms illustrate the clinical principles. It is oriented to the novice EKG reader, and so should be useful to medical residents and cardiology fellows. Yet the book contains clinical pearls that even experienced cardiologists will find useful. The detailed coverage of the diagnostic approach to cardiac arrhythmias based on the EKG is a reflection of the authors training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
