Synopsis: Electrocardiography (ECG) has existed in the medical field for over 100 years, but important concepts are still beyond the horizon for some trainees and physicians alike. This book occupies an unfilled niche, written for resident physicians across various specialties. Using a case-based format, it provides an analytical system that facilitates a high-yield interpretation, and by breaking down the 12-lead ECG using a simple system, the learner can quickly identify important findings. Thus, strengthening the knowledge of resident physicians, and facilitating better understanding and management of patients with abnormal ECGs—regardless of their career paths through the medical field.Key Features: Utilizes a two-pronged explanation style to facilitate learning where the first prong is the “what” of the ECG, and the second prong is the “why” and “how.” Focuses on high-yield abnormalities and clinical pearls, to enable those providers outside of the cardiology space to become more knowledgeable and confident when interpreting ECGs. Uses a built-in question bank to test and reinforce concepts learned in the primer and case studies.
