Publisher's Synopsis
Clinical Exercise Electrocardiography addresses the needs of Exercise Physiologists working in a clinical setting and highlights static interpretation of rhythm strips and 12-leads. Not only does it include the traditional basic electrocardiography (ECG), arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and pacemaker chapters but it also provides easy-to-read chapters on cardiac pathophysiology, cardiovascular testing procedures, cardiac pharmacology and structural heart disease, and inflammatory processes. The authors also address the differences in ECG interpretation in women, children, and athletes, and examine the use of ECGs in exercise stress testing situations. The first text of its kind to offer a specific educational experience on electrocardiography in clinical settings for Exercise Physiologists Case Studies in the text present real-world scenarios so that students can apply the knowledge gained throughout their course Over 100 practice test strips allow students to evaluate ECGs of different age groups, genders, and athletic abilities A bulleted point format helps students better understand and retain key information A great study tool for those preparing for the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Clinical Exercise Specialist (CES) Certification Exam and the Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (RCEP) Exam Includes learning objectives, key terms glossary, clinical case studies, and over 100 practice ECGs Instructor resources include PowerPoint Presentations and a Test Bank © 2016 | 384 pages
