Publisher's Synopsis
- New content on STEMI recognition includes a streamlined approach and a new emphasis on STEMI imposters (noninfarct causes of ST elevation).
- An updated approach to ECG interpretation provides simple strategies to determine STEMI after you have identified ST elevation.
- Four updated, illustrated step-by-step skills have been added, providing easy-to-follow instructions for performing basic techniques.
- Four new case studies help you apply content to actual real-life scenarios.
- Landscape view presents 12-lead ECGs in the actual sizes seen in the clinical setting.
- 12-lead ECG dual-function color overlays help you identify the location of a STEMI.
- A heart rate ruler is included with every text, making it easier to calculate heart rates.
- Over 90 new 12-lead ECGs have been added to this edition, for a total of 133.
- 30 more practice ECGs have been added to the practice chapter, for a total of 100.
- Spiral binding makes it easier to lay the book flat for study or for use while on the job.
- A new 50-page pocket reference helps you quickly identify possible STEMI, determine the likelihood of the top STEMI imposters, and confidently categorize the ECG. Included in this package and also sold separately.
