For the fist time in 25 years, the Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America features an issue devoted entirely to the electrocardiogram (ECG) and its invaluable role to physicians on the front line. This inexpensive, easy to use tool yields a wealth of information to emergency medicine physicians. Traditional uses such as the diagnosis of dysrhythmia and acute coronary syndromes are expertly detailed, and nontraditional topics of ECG interpretation are also included such as detection of electrode misconnection and artifact. Don't miss this one!
