There is a host of literature on the subject, and this best-selling book is the most convenient, user-friendly and inexpensive of all available titles, useful to students, residents, nurses and clinicians.
In this updated third edition, the subject gradually evolves from basics to therapeutics. Emphasis is on ECG appearances, but there is also discussion about the cause and relevance of ECG abnormalities.
