CRC MAK SENS ECG CASE SELF-ASSESS PDF

Preface

If you have already read our book Making Sense of the ECG you may now be keen to put your knowledge to the test. In this companion volume, Making Sense of the ECG: Cases for Self-Assessment, you can test your skills in ECG interpretation with 70 individual clinical cases.

This book is simple to use. Each of the 70 cases begins with an ECG, an illustrative clinical scenario (to place the ECG in an appropriate context), and a number of questions. On turning the page, you will find the answers to the questions together with a detailed analysis of the ECG. This is followed by a general commentary on the ECG and the clinical case, and suggestions for further reading. The ECG cases are presented in order of increasing difficulty and we are certain that, whatever your experience in ECG interpretation, you will find cases to challenge your skills.

We are grateful to everyone who has taken the time to comment on the cases and to help us acquire ECGs for this book. Finally, we would like to thank all of the staff at Hodder Arnold who have contributed to the success of the Making Sense of the ECG books.
