Description

Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation, Second Edition teaches students of all levels – including nurses, physician assistants, cardiovascular technicians, allied health professionals, paramedics, medical students, and physicians – how to interpret a rhythm strip using foundational concepts and a step-by-step approach. Presented in an unintimidating, conversational writing style, Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation facilitates understanding of this complex subject. This text is appropriate for anyone who wishes to learn how to accurately interpret arrhythmias. Students gain a solid understanding of electrophysiology and pathophysiologic mechanisms in the heart and learn how to apply this knowledge to the rhythm strip. Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation Second Edition is also an excellent reference text for instructors who wish to expand their knowledge of arrhythmia interpretation.

New to the Second Edition:
  • Full coverage of wide-complex tachycardias in four chapters: the basics, the criteria, the approach, and a chapter on synthesis/interpretation, presented in a case study format.
  • Beginner’s Perspective boxes written by someone new to arrhythmia recognition provide tips and insight on how to approach the material as a beginner.
  • This edition also includes chapter objectives written to Bloom’s taxonomy.
  • A Companion Website that provides access to additional content including flashcards, animations, and more!
