"ECG Core Curriculum is accessible to all learners and yet comprehensive and detailed. From the basic fundamental science to vectors and arrhythmias, the examples and illustrations are clear and understandable. Each chapter builds upon the prior, yet experienced cardiologists can jump in anywhere to get a quick up-to-date refresher." - Dr. Athena Poppas

The ultimate how-to guide for reading and interpreting ECGs-from basic to advanced

ECG Core Curriculum sets the new standard for electrocardiography interpretation. This unique resource is an essential instructional guide for anyone who needs to learn this vital skill, including medical students, practicing physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, and allied medical professionals.

Each chapter begins with basic concepts, which build the foundation for a comprehensive discussion of every major ECG abnormality, and includes a self-test to reinforce your learning. A special bonus is the comprehensive section of diagnostic criteria. The text concludes with a final examination that is perfect for board review.

ECG Core Curriculum covers:

  • Functional anatomy, physiology and electrophysiology
  • Using vectors to understanding electrocardiographic patterns
  • Chamber enlargement
  • Bundle branch block and conduction abnormalities
  • Accessory pathways and pre-excitation
  • Myocardial ischemia and infarction
  • Pericarditis and infarction imitators
  • Using laddergrams to understand the mechanism of arrhythmias
  • Supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias
  • Heart block and pacemaker electrocardiography
  • An approach to wide complex tachycardia, and more

Covering from the basics to advanced topics, ECG Core Curriculum is the ultimate guide perfect for every health care professional.
