Master 12-Lead EKG Interpretation with a Systematic Approach

Develop a comprehensive understanding of 12-lead EKG interpretation with a systematic, physiologic approach that eliminates the need for memorization.

Covering All Aspects of Clinical Practice

This book provides a clear and concise explanation of key concepts, covering all relevant topics you’ll encounter in clinical practice, including treatment options. Whether you’re a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or practicing clinician, this resource is designed to help you easily grasp EKG interpretation and provide expert, quality care to your patients.

A Proven, Step-by-Step Approach

The third edition of this book retains its systematic approach, training readers to follow a consistent process in evaluating EKG tracings. By working through this book, you’ll gain a genuine understanding of EKG interpretation and be able to apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Real-Life Applications for Interpreting EKG Readings

With over 75 figures and tables, and more than 260 EKG tracings, this book provides abundant clinical scenarios to demonstrate the practical application of EKG interpretation. You’ll learn how to use the patient’s presenting symptoms as a starting point to interpret EKG readings and develop critical thinking skills.
