ECGs for nurses

Written for nurses who find electrocardiograms intimidating, this second edition walks through the ECG from the basics to clinical use. Its case studies and real trace examples show how to read a tracing, what different abnormalities may mean for a patient, and which treatments might follow. The guide keeps the nurse's role at the centre throughout.

The book is aimed at nurses in every acute setting, along with general nurses and students encountering ECGs for the first time. Its compact, portable format and heavy use of illustrations make it practical to carry onto the ward.
