Synopsis
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW
This book is intended for senior medical students, but could be used by junior medical students or even medical residents as a starting point in basic electrocardiography....There is definitely a need for this ten-day plan to fit medical student needs in the curriculum. This book is beautifully illustrated with the basics using a vector cardiographic loop approach....This text was designed as a beginner's course in electrocardiography and that challenge is well met.--Doody's Review Service
