practical, comprehensive text serves as a step-by-step, hands-on
workbook for those learning to interpret 12-Lead EKGs. With over 45
years of experience in cardiac care, authors Green and Chiaramida

strips that make up 12-lead EKGs.
This book introduces basic

such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities and
heart block, ischemic and nonischemic disorders, and more. Explanations
of terms and concepts are concise and to the point, allowing students

interpret 12-lead EKGs.
