{"product_id":"understanding-electrocardiography","title":"Understanding Electrocardiography","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis new  eighth edition of Understanding Eletrocardiography covers all aspects of electrocardiography to help health professionals picture the mechanisms of arrhythmias  their ECG patterns  and the options immediately available as well as those available for a cure. The illustrations and descriptions in this edition help the reader visualize and comprehend mechanisms of cardiac rhythms as well as retain this knowledge to pave the way for a systematic approach to ECG recognition and emergency response. This edition attains the goal of guaranteeing the best possible patient outcomes by providing complete coverage from step-by-step instruction to the more advanced concepts of ECG monitoring and includes new chapters on the Athletes ECG  In-Hospital T-Segment Monitoring  Ischemia Monitoring  and Brugada Syndrome. Clear  consistent writing and organization are featured throughout. The mechanisms of cardiac rhythms are explained and illustrated for easier comprehension. Knowledge builds logically from mechanisms of arrhythmias  axis  and normal rhythms  to arrhythmia recognition. Pediatric implications are provided for appropriate arrhythmias. Differential diagnoses for arrhythmias are provided to cover all the possibilities of the patients clinical status. A consulting board made up of internationally known experts in ECG recognition assures the content is as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Revised and updated chapters include the explosion of new information regarding mechanisms  risks  diagnosis  therapy  and cures  changing the way patients with arrhythmias and myocardial infarction are managed. The Congenital Long QT syndrome chapter (25) has been thoroughly revised with new information on the recognition of this inherited disease as well as its precipitating circumstances. The Acquired Long QT syndrome chapter (26) has been thoroughly revised to describe this life-threatening arrhythmia and lists all of the non-cardiac drugs that are now known to cause it. The Atrial Flutter chapter (9) is totally revised to incorporate new diagnostic techniques that have evolved as well as improvements in acute and long-term management. A NEW Chapter on Brugada Syndrome (27) teaches early identification and treatment of those at risk of sudden death from this dangerous ECG pattern. A NEW Athletes ECG chapter (20) teaches how intense physical training is associated with ECG patterns that are a consequence of physiologic adaptations of the heart. This chapter shows how the clinician must be aware of these benign ECG patterns  but at the same time recognize possible pathological ECG changes that may require further investigations. A NEW chapter (31) on In-Hospital Ischemia Monitoring measures the patients response to therapy \u0026amp; provides an important determinant for survival from myocardial infarction and ischemia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946418761781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0323019056","price":123.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780323019057_9ebd9248-a6f3-4228-a186-ea10ec2b3fe7.jpg?v=1770186535","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/understanding-electrocardiography","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
