Description

This classic, best-selling book has been completely updated and revised to reflect the latest knowledge in the field. Basic Arrhythmias, Sixth Edition covers all the basics of arrhythmia interpretation and includes appendices on Clinical Implications, Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology, 12 Lead Electrocardiography, Basic 12 Lead Interpretation, and Pathophysiology of Arrhythmias.

The author takes great care in presenting a difficult topic in an easy manner with a building block approach.

Features

Key Features

· Over 600 practice strips included in the textbook.

· The appendix, which already includes sections covering Clinical Implications, Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology, 12 Lead Electrocardiography, Basic 12 Lead Interpretation, and Pacemakers, now includes a new section on Pathophysiology of Arrhythmias.

· Full color texts, along with full color, tear-out flash cards for learning practice.

· Flexible, self-instructional format allows for self-paced or classroom learning.

· Key points and self-tests in every chapter for quick review and self-evaluation.

Net price: $74.00 (What's this?)Brief Description |
For all courses in basic or introductory cardiography.

Basic Arrhythmias, Seventh Edition gives beginning students a strong basic understanding of the common, uncomplicated rhythms that are a foundation for further learning and success in electrocardiography. The first eight chapters, which can be used as self-instruction, cover basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias. Basic Arrthymias then introduces cardiac anatomy, clinical manifestations, 12-lead electrocardiography, and cardiac pacemakers. This new Seventh Edition program features mybradykit, an online site providing extensive study resources, learning tools, and interactive exercises. An access code to mybradykit is provided in the front of the text.
