The 12-Lead ECG in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Practical Approach for Clinicians
Antoni Bayés de Luna, Miquel Fiol-Sala, Elliot M. Antman To facilitate correct diagnosis and guide management, the authors use a consistent sequence to explain the ECG abnormalities for each site of coronary occlusion. A schematic of the coronary tree illustrates the point of occlusion.
The second part of the book contains a self-assessment section with a series of 15 cases, each of which includes one or more 12-lead ECGs for analysis. These valuable examples help you prepare for on-the-spot interpretation in the emergency department or intensive care unit.Content:
