The text is arranged in traditional topics areas such as ACS, dysrhythmia, etc yet each chapter is essentially a question with several cases illustrating the clinical dilemma – the chapter itself is a specific answer to the question.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a unique format among textbooks with an ECG focus. The clinical scenarios cover the issues involved in detecting and managing major cardiovascular conditions. Focused, structured discussion then solves these problems in a clinically relevant, rapid, and easy to read fashion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis novel approach to ECG instruction is ideal for practicing critical care and emergency physicians, specialist nurses, cardiologists, as well as students and trainees with a special interest in the ECG.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection Editors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForewords xii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 The ECG in Clinical Practice 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What are the clinical applications of the ECG in emergency and critical care?
