From the Publisher

"This is a popular and practical handbook for those who wish a thorough understanding of EKG interpretation, especially for everyday clinical practice.  It effectively summarizes basic concepts and helps to incorporate those concepts into accurate EKG interpretation. The main strength of this book is the author's ability to simplify complex concepts and the use of high-quality illustrations to teach readers how to systematically translate the EKG interpretation to aid in clinical decision making."
