Making Sense of the ECG has been written specifically with this in mind and, across multiple editions, has helped students and more experienced healthcare practitioners to identify and answer crucial questions, including: Are these abnormalities significant? How do I distinguish between VT and SVT? Does this patient have an acute coronary syndrome? How do I measure the QT interval? Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist? This popular, easy-to-read and easy-to-remember guide to the ECG as a tool for diagnosis and management has been fully updated in its sixth edition to reflect the latest guidelines, with new chapters added covering â€˜Reading an ECG recordingâ€™ and 'Ten ECGs not to missâ€™.
