EKG Textbook


Book Description

EVOLUTION OF THE "EKG TEXTBOOK" PUBLISHED Increasing demand of technicians in medical field and lack of all in one compiled educational resources led to the evolution of the EKG textbook. This book has been created after an extensive search of EKG technician profession and keeping in mind the new trends and procedures required for the on job tasks. After years of working on this project, the book is ready and we are proud to present our book "EKG TEXTBOOK: THEORY AND PRACTICAL APPROACH." The authors have tried to keep the book concise and to the point. The knowledge in this book has been provided for individuals planning to pursue an EKG technician profession at a postsecondary or college level. The language used in the book is simplistic and somewhat easy to comprehend for individuals to understand the concepts of EKG. Checking your state, local and federal scope of practice for EKG technician is recommended and advised. Finally the authors would like to thank everyone who has contributed in making this project possible.

Understanding 12-lead EKGs


Book Description

Brenda M. Beasley, RN, BS, EMT-P Michael C. West, RN, MS, EMT-P EKG interpretation is often a difficult subject for students to learn and understand. With this in mind, Brenda Beasley, author of the successful book, Understanding EKG's, and Michael West have created "Understanding 12 Lead EKG's," a straightforward approach to EKG interpretation that presents all the essential concepts students need to know to master the basics of this challenging field. This comprehensive, reader-friendly book is ideal for self-study or classroom use, making it the perfect resource for both students and practicing health care professionals. Features: Presents both the "5 step" and "5 + 3" approaches, providing readers with a standard format to be followed with each EKG strip interpretation. Includes coverage of anatomy and physiology concepts to enhance understanding of EKG interpretation as well as chapters on cardiovascular pharmacology and therapeutic modalities. Tables, mneumonics, sample rhythm strips, and end-of-chapter questions provide reinforcement and allow quick mastery and retention of key concepts.

ECG from Basics to Essentials


Book Description

This brand new guide assists students, interns and residents in developing a functional understanding of the set-up, workings and interpretation of ECGs Step-by-step graphics and short, bite-sized explanations Covers all major cardiac abnormalities including hypertrophy, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, and pre-excitation syndromes Begins with a section on physiology of the heart and the basic set up of ECG recording Features top tips on what to look for, complete with illustrated examples Supported by a companion website featuring additional practice tracings




Twelve-Lead Electrocardiography


Book Description

This is a fully revised and updated edition of the major work that teaches health professionals to utilize the 12-lead ECG in daily clinical practice. It deals with the analysis of the morphology of ECG waveforms in order to diagnose many conditions not related to rhythm, including ischemia, acute myocardial infarction, and hypertrophy of the heart muscle. Almost all other texts of morphologic interpretation for non-cardiologists rely heavily on memorizing electrocardiographic patterns. This book is unique due to its different technique, leading the reader through easily understood electrophysiologic principles, and then allowing the reader to deduce what the 12 lead electrocardiogram will look like under various circumstances.




Understanding EKGs


Book Description

This book was written to assist the novice user in understandin basic EKG interpretation. It is a useful guide to the understanding of abnormal heart rhythms, and the material is presented in a simple, straightforward manner that achieves the understanding of each chapter prior to proceeding to the next chapter.Topics covered in this book include a general overview of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, basic electrophysiology, the electrocardiogram, interpretation of the EKG strip, sinus rhythms, atrial rhythms, junctional rhythms, ventricular rhythms, heart block rhythms, pacemaker rhythms, and assessment and treatment of patients with cardiovascular emergencies.For prehospital care providers, medical students, cardiac care monitor techs, ACLS candidates, nursing professionals, physician assistants, and respiratory therapists.

ECG/EKG Interpretation


Book Description

Access now the practical, simple, and concise manual on ECG interpretation!
