Interpreting EKGs is potentially serious business. It takes time and energy to become a proficient EKG reader. In Bonehead Electrocardiography, Dr. John R. Hicks and Dr. Floyd W. Burke offer a commonsense approach to learning how to read and interpret EKGs easily and intelligently.
In this manual, arising from many years of teaching medical students, Hicks and Burke, both practicing adult cardiologists, delve into the how and why of the EKG. They discuss the core ideas and principles--the purpose of the EKG and how it is designed to accomplish its job. Beginning with a basic understanding and moving to more technical reading, Hicks and Burke provide an easy-to-understand map, strategies, and process for gaining better knowledge of the EKG.
A powerful tool for medical students, nurses, EMTs, and other paramedical professionals, Bonehead Electrocardiography includes illustrations, pictures, charts, personal experience examples, case scenarios, and end-of-the-book practice questions to present a unique educational opportunity for those interested in learning to take the mystery out of reading EKGs.
