Critical Decisions in Emergency and Acute Care Electrocardiography 

This scenario-based text provides answers to urgent and emergent
questions in acute, emergency, and critical care situations
focusing on the electrocardiogram in patient care management. 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.

This 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.

This 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.
