The 12-Lead ECG in Acute Coronary Syndromes (4th Edition) – eBook

Simplify ECGs! Using a simple-to-understand, step-by-step approach and conversational tone, The 12-Lead ECG in Acute Coronary Syndromes, 4^th Edition, (PDF) explains the process of 12-lead ECG interpretation for accurate identification and effective treatment of ACS. This new edition has been streamlined to focus on practice and explanation. It demonstrates to you how to determine the likelihood of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) versus other causes of ST elevation. It encompasses innovative technology and developing paradigms in ECG interpretation, like the Cabrera format, which sequences impulse generation in a logical anatomic progression. In addition, more than 100 practice ECGs—over 25 of which are new—help test your knowledge. Written by two well-known educators—Barbara Aehlert, an experienced nurse and popular ACLS instructor and Tim Phalen, a paramedic, this guide includes the latest American Heart Association Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) Guidelines, along with new research and information on recognizing and treating ACS in both pre-hospital and hospital environments.
