150 ECG Cases

The ECG Made Easy

Adlam, David

For over forty years The ECG Made Easy has been regarded as the best introductory guide to the ECG, with sales of over half a million copies as well as being translated into more than a dozen languages. Hailed by the British Medical Journal as a "medical classic", it has been a favourite of generations of medical and health care staff who require clear, basic knowledge about the ECG. This famous book encourages the reader to accept that the ECG is easy to understand and that its use is just a natural extension of taking the patient’s history and performing a physical examination. It directs users of the electrocardiogram to straightforward and accurate identification of normal and abnormal ECG patterns. 
<ul>
<li>A practical and highly informative guide to a difficult subject.</li> <li>Provides a full understanding of the ECG in the diagnosis and management of abnormal cardiac rhythms.</li> <li>Emphasises the role of the full 12 lead ECG with realistic reproduction of recordings.</li> <li>The unique page size allows presentation of 12-lead ECGs across a single page for clarity.</li> </ul>
<ul>
<li>A new opening chapter entitled ‘The ECG made very easy’ distils the bare essentials of using an ECG in clinical practice with minimal theory and maximum practicality.</li> <li>The second part explains the theory underpinning the recording of an ECG in order to start basic interpretation of the 12 leads.</li> <li>The third part looks at the clinical interpretation of individual ECGs in patients with chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations and syncope as well as understanding the normal variations in ECGs recorded from healthy subjects. </li> </ul>

150 ECG Cases presents clinical problems in the shape of simple case histories together with the relevant ECG. Detailed answers concentrate on the clinical interpretation of the results and give advice on what to do. The book can be used as a standalone method of practising ECG interpretation, and even with the most difficult ECGs a beginner will be able to make an accurate description of the trace and will be guided towards the key aspects of the interpretation.
<ul>
<li>The unique page size allows presentation of 12-lead ECGs across a single page for clarity.</li> <li>Several of the cases incorporate chest X-rays and coronary angiograms illustrating the appearances that are associated with various cardiac conditions.</li> <li>All the cases are graded in difficulty and are cross-referenced to the new editions of ECG Made Easy and ECG Made Practical for further information.</li> </ul>
This Fifth Edition has been re-ordered into two parts: <ul>
<li>Part 1 Everyday ECGs: The 75 ECGs in this section are examples of those commonly seen in clinical practice. There are several examples of the most important abnormalities, together with examples of common variations of normality. </li> <li>Part 2 More Challenging ECGs: The 75 ECGs in this section are more demanding and include ECG patterns seen less often in clinical practice. </li> </ul>
For this Fifth Edition over fifteen per cent new ECGs have been included, mainly to provide clearer examples, though the book deliberately retains some technically poor records to maintain a ’real-world’ perspective
