Description
The new book from the author of the original classic text Hurst's the Heart! This innovative reference supplies a system for interpreting individual electrocardiograms (EKGs) based on fundamental principles of electrocardiography and vector concepts, rather than relying on a physician's ability to recollect the shapes and patterns of a multitude of tracings. Highlights Grant's method of measuring the direction of electrical forces in the modern era of cardiology! Enabling physicians to make a differential diagnosis, Interpreting Electrocardiograms · establishes a scientific method by representing spatially oriented vectors that can be visualized and measured · considers the heart's electrical forces, zero potential plane, and transitional pathway · outlines the location and anatomic features of the heart chambers and conduction system · discusses the use of Einthoven's bipolar extremity leads, Bayley's triaxial system, Wilson's unipolar chest leads, and Goldberger's unipolar extremity leads to determine the spatial orientation of electrical forces · includes examples of normal EKGs · discusses preexcitation, postexcitation, and Osborn, epsilon, and Brugada waves · covers left and right ventricle hypertrophy due to diastolic and systolic pressure overload, myocardial infarction, ventricular conduction abnormalities, pericarditis, digitalis effect, and electrolyte disturbances · and more! Providing a step-by-step method for interpreting EKGs using basic principles and vector concepts, Interpreting Electrocardiograms is a groundbreaking reference for cardiologists, internists, family and primary care physicians, and medical school students in these disciplines.
