Illustrative Electrocardiography By KC Verma

About the Book:

• All the fundamentals of pediatric and adult electrocardiography presented in detail and in a simple lucid style.
• Book can be of immense value to postgraduate students and those students preparing for board examinations in the field of medicine and cardiology.
• Starting from historic background, generation of electric current by the cardiac cells, its proper propagation via natural pacemakers like SA and AV nodes, His bundle and finally through its Purkinje tisue to initiate the systolic and diastolic components of the cardiac cycle are given.
• Gives illustrative details of, electrocardiographic patterns of AV blocks, cardiac arrest rhythms, ambulatory electrocardiography, intra cardiac electrophysiology, exercise stress testing, electrocardiographic diagnosis of myocardial infarction, pre-excitation (W-P-W) and sick sinus syndromes.
• Electrocardiographic features of common congenital heart diseases, cardiac chamber hypertrophy, pericardial diseases. Intra cardiac pacemakers and cardiac arrhythmias including arrhythmias due to pre-execution and athletes taking part in different types of heavy exercising competitive games have been described in a simple possible manner.
• Also includes the detailed description of tele-electrocardiographic monitoring of heart patients by their consulting physician/cardiologist residing far away from the medical centre.
