A concise and easy-to-use guide to ECG interpretation, this book takes the complex subject of cardiac electrophysiology and presents it in a clear, full-colour format designed specifically for paramedics and those working in the out of hospital environment.

Presented as independently accessible sections, the reader is taken from the basics of cardiac anatomy, physiology and fundamental ECG principles, through to arrhythmia recognition and 12-lead ECG interpretation. The inclusion of information on clinical signs and symptoms, underlying causes and differentials, and management decisions for each presentation places the reader’s ECG learning clearly in the context of their wider clinical knowledge and experience. Practice ECGs and case-based scenarios enable the reader to consolidate their learning and understanding.

Applying ECG interpretation to paramedic practice and clinical presentations, this book is an essential learning resource for both students who are new to the subject as well as prehospital professionals hoping to expand and consolidate their knowledge.

Key features include:

• Over 100 practice ECGs, including 25 case-based scenarios
• A new ECG Interpretation Tool that includes clinical considerations
• Full colour and easy-to-understand format
• Evidence-based and in line with current UK guidelines
• Specifically written for paramedics, student paramedics, ambulance staff and others working in the out of hospital setting
