Learning ECG interpretation has never been easier! A practical guide to heart rhythm recognition, ECGs Made Easy, 7th Edition offers a more visual, less intimidating way to identify and interpret basic heart dysrhythmias. Each ECG rhythm includes a clear description, a sample ECG rhythm strip, possible signs and symptoms related to each rhythm, and recommended treatment. For more practice, additional rhythm strips and review exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. Written by noted EMS educator Barbara Aehlert, this guide has everything you need to master skills in ECG interpretation.
