Practical ECG Holter 100 Cases [Paperback]

As arrhythmias may be transient in nature and not seen during the shorter recording times of the standard ECG, ECG Holter monitoring allows the physician to make better informed decisions for the cardiac patient. The devices are worn by patients on an outpatient basis for days or weeks and can also be implanted subcutaneously. ECG Holter recordings are especially useful since they can be programmed individually for activation and specific tracing analysis.Designed for rapid study, this book contains 100 illustrative cases in ECG Holter monitoring. Each case consists of a tracing followed by a brief explanation of the findings. 100 Cases in ECG Holter is the perfect resource for busy physicians looking to optimize their skills at interpreting ECG Holter readings.

ECT Holter recordings, with their longer out-patient time span, allow physicians to make better informed decisions in cardiac cases. Ideal for rapid study, this book contains 100 ECG Holter monitoring case studies, each one including a tracing and explanation.
