EKGs for the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant

It is vital for NPs and PAs to be highly skilled in EKG interpretation to correctly identify high-risk patients and to make appropriate clinical decisions.\n\nThis reference book is the first to present a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to EKG interpretation, covering all major topics required for expertise in this area.Based on a physiologic approach that facilitates in-depth understanding, the text includes clinical scenarios that may be seen in practice, and firmly links the information found in the EKG printout to the patient�s symptoms. It clearly presents the gamut of requisite topics in EKG interpretation�from basic to complex�including topics not customarily addressed in depth, such as supraventricular tachycardias and pacemaker EKGs. The book�s multifaceted approach to EKG interpretation is enhanced with new approaches and recommendations, charts, and tables.
