It is commonly used to detect abnormal heart rhythms and investigate the cause of chest pains. It is important for clinicians to recognise and interpret ECG patterns accurately to ensure correct diagnosis and effective treatment. The seventh edition of this acclaimed ECG guide reflects the dynamic nature of medical science and the ongoing evolution in the interpretation of electrocardiograms. Beginning with basic principles, nomenclature of deflections and calculation of heart rate and electrical-axis., the book presents up-to-date, well-explained, evidence-based concepts to explain the pathophysiology of ECG patterns. Thoroughly revised and updated, each chapter has been carefully reviewed for accuracy and aligned with the latest clinical guidelines. A new chapter on ECG recording during pacemaker rhythm has been included. This edition offers a clear, step-by-step approach, guiding readers from the foundational principles of cardiac electrophysiology to the complex recognition of arrhythmias and ischemic changes.
