Huzar's ECG and 12-Lead Interpretation, 5th Edition, helps students recognize various heart rhythms by their appearance on the ECG, correlated with the patient’s clinical signs and symptoms. The content is structured to match the order in which students acquire specific skills: ECG components are presented first, followed by rhythm interpretation and clinical implications. Author’s Notes allow students to benefit from the author’s decades of clinical and field experience. Take-Home Points, Key definitions, chapter review questions, and practice strips help students understand and retain complex information.
