Understanding Heart Sounds and Murmurs With an Introduction to Lung Sounds (Book with Audio Cassette Package)

Tilkian, Ara G.

UNDERSTANDING ELECTRO-CARDIOGRAPHY is both the title and the goal for this book. It is designed for beginners, as well as experienced clinicians needing deep comprehension of the 12-lead ECG and complex arrhythmias. The book presents a thorough explanation of normal heart function and electrophysiology; the genesis, types, and classifications of arrhythmias; interpretation of ECG tracings; utilizing the ECG as a valuable diagnostic tool; electrical safety; anti-arrhythmic therapy; and pacemakers.

ADVANCED CONCEPTS IN ARRHYTHMIAS covers all of the important and up-to-date advances in electrocardiography reflecting all of the state-of-the-art findings that have occurred over the last few years. It bridges the gap between basic ECG texts and the comprehensive texts that provide an overwhelming amount of information on cardiac electrophysiology. Readers will find new chapters covering the latest innovations in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). * Explains the mechanisms of all forms of atrial flutter, giving the reader a comprehensive presentation of this important subject matter. * Describes in just the right amount of detail the mechanisms, ECG recognition, emergency response, symptoms, and the cure of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. * Discusses how to cure idiopathic ventricular tachycardia with transvenous radiofrequency ablation information not found in other references. * Offers consistent coverage that includes ECG recognition, pediatrics, mechanism, symptoms, physical assessment, and emergency treatment, giving the reader complete information for each arrhythmia. * Presents an easy-to-understand chapter on cellular electrophysiology a traditionally difficult subject allowing readers to better understand arrhythmogenic mechanisms.

Pocket Guide to Electrocardiography

CLINICAL AND NURSING IMPLICATIONS OF LABORATORY TESTS is a comprehensive reference designed to help nurses and other health professionals meet the new challenges of managed and efficient health care. The laboratory tests are approached in the same way a clinical evaluation is made: first with a general screening panel, and then with a more in-depth evaluation of each organ system. Each test is explained; its value and limitations are defined, and clinical implications, nursing responsibilities, and patient preparation are discussed.
