 Every student of cardiology needs to know about electrocardiography and there have been many books published on the subject. This is the second edition of an ECG book that successfully breaks down the requisite knowledge into clear, well defined chapters. It starts on basic principles, then discusses the causes and relevance of potential abnormalities, and finally deals with the recognition and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. For the uninitiated it provides the opportunity to learn ECG from the basics through to therapeutic usage. For the student of cardiology and practising clinician, it is a handy, inexpensive reference book.
