About the Book

This book is written as a practical guide for the non-specialist and begins with the necessary background information on electrophysiology and the way in which normal and abnormal conditions are displayed on the ECG. The book also looks at the symptoms associated with disorder of rate, rhythm and conduction, and patients who have no symptoms. There is a major section on recognition and treatment, dealing in turn with variations of normal sinus rhythm, disorders of rate and rhythm, and disorders of conduction. A selection of drugs and physical methods are discussed, with detailed information on their use and possible side effects and finally there is a section which looks at management problems for general practitioners, hospital doctors and nurses. The book would be of use to medical students, junior hospital doctors and general practitioners who acquire electrocardiograph machines and coronary care units, where nurses often lack educational tools.
