Over 300 detailed illustrations inside—special launch price!

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) can feel overwhelming at first, with their complex squiggles displayed across six different “boxes” on the interpretation page. You know these patterns reveal vital information about the heart, but what exactly do they mean? This guide breaks it down clearly, helping you understand how ECGs are performed, what they reveal about the heart, and how to recognize abnormal readings.

Before diving into ECG interpretation and clinical action, you’ll explore the heart itself—its structure and function at every beat. This foundation will help you grasp how ECG signals are generated and what each waveform represents.

Next, you’ll learn how ECGs are recorded and the differences between types of tracings, like rhythm strips versus 12-lead ECGs. Discover key components such as the P wave and QRS complex, preparing you to confidently interpret any ECG.

The guide then equips you with tools to decode a wide range of arrhythmias and identify signs of ischemia and infarction. It also covers the impact of drugs and electrolyte imbalances on heart rhythms and how these changes appear on an ECG.

Whether you’re a student or healthcare professional, this comprehensive yet accessible guide will empower you to read ECGs with confidence.
