Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous improvement in our understanding of basic cardiac electrophysiology. Most introductory electrocardiogram (ECG) books teach via pattern recognition and do not incorporate new pathophysiologic information.
There is a great need for a simple book that teaches electrocardiography from a pathophysiologic basis. ECG Interpretation: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Application has been written to fill this gap. It can be utilized as a reference - chapter by chapter or read throughout for an overview. Each chapter will end with questions that provide a chapter review. Case studies are highlighted at the end of the book that integrate the multiple principles of electrocardiography.

From the reviews:
"This book provides basic information on ECG analysis as well as pathophysiologic and electrophysiologic concepts. … The intended audience includes students, midlevels, physicians in training, and clinicians interested in cardiovascular diseases. … Numerous illustrations and pictures are easy to understand and concepts are clearly detailed. The multiple examples, summary … of each chapter are helpful and well done. The quality of ECGs, teaching points, and overall content of this book is excellent, making it a valuable teaching aid for students and practitioners of cardiology."
