Inhaltsangabe

This book elucidates the process of reading electrocardiograms (ECGs) in children. It provides a structured, step-by-step guide for interpreting ECGS using algorithms, which allow clinicians to decipher the data within these tracings and establish differential diagnoses. The book also presents actual high-definition ECG tracings, which are annotated and highlighted to demonstrate the issues discussed. Topics include cellular electrophysiology changes and electrocardiography and disorders such as axis abnormalities, heart rate and rhythm disturbances, hypertrophy, conduction abnormalities, and fetal arrhythmias. Clinical scenarios with answers provide real-life examples of how pediatric patients present, their ECGs, and treatment methodology. Pediatric Electrocardiography: An Algorithmic Approach is a valuable resource for pediatricians, family medicine physicians, cardiologists, and medical students.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

 This book elucidates the process of reading electrocardiograms (ECGs) in children. It focuses on the presentation of congenital and acquired heart diseases as interpreted through the ECG and is supported by an extensive illustration program derived from electronically stored ECGs. The book also features lists and algorithms that can be applied when noticing any pathology within the ECG, thereby allowing these findings to be traced to potential differential diagnoses. Topics include the normal electrocardiogram; cellular electrophysiology; cardiac conduction; heart rate and rhythm disturbances; atrioventricular conduction abnormalities; and cardiac ischemia, injury, and infarction. Pediatric Electrocardiography: An Algorithmic Approach to Interpretation is a valuable resource for pediatricians, family medicine physicians, cardiologists, residents, and medical students.
