Chou's Electrocardiography in Clinical Practice, Adult and Pediatric

Here’s a user-friendly, readable introduction to the study of electrocardiography. It guides you in capturing and interpreting ECGs, with an eye towards clinical correlation for easy application to your practice. New in this edition are increased content on pediatric ECGs, implantable cardiodefibrillators, and pacemakers.

Key Features

Comprehensively and expertly describes how to capture and interpret all normal and abnormal ECG findings in adults and children.
Features the expertise of internationally recognized authorities on electrocardiography, for advanced assistance in mastering the subtle but critical nuances of this complex diagnostic modality.

New to this Edition

Features new chapters on pediatric electrocardiography that explore rhythm problems associated with pediatric obesity, heart failure, and athletic activity.
Presents a new chapter on recording and interpreting heart rhythms in patients with pacemakers.
Includes new material on interpreting ECG findings associated with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Provides fully updated coverage on the increased importance of ECGs in stress testing.
