Following the highly successful model of the first edition, Pocket Guide to ECG Diagnosis, 2e describes every known common ECG abnormality and cardiac arrhythmia with a practical and clinical approach. On the left page of the book, each abnormality is described precisely and concisely, including Definition, Diagnostic Criteria, and Diagnostic Pearls. On the right page, a crystal clear reproduction of a given ECG abnormality is shown. This at–a–glance format makes this Pocket Guide effective for quick interpretation of ECGs. Dr. Ching has updated and revised the entire book and included over 20 new ECGs in this edition.
