As healthcare professionals, we know that the Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an essential diagnostic tool in emergency and acute care settings. As such, mastering the interpretation of ECGs is crucial for identifying life-threatening conditions and delivering timely care. That’s where The Electrocardiogram in Emergency and Acute Care comes in, a new book written by Korin B. Hudson, Amita Sudhir, George Glass, and William J. Brady.

This comprehensive guide covers both single-lead and 12-lead ECGs, including diagnostic challenges such as differential diagnosis of more common ECGs.

The editors place a significant emphasis on readability and accessibility, making the book ideal for students, trainees, and practicing emergency physicians across all areas.

The book is divided into several sections to provide a thorough understanding of ECG interpretation, including clinical applications, cardiac rhythms, anatomical and physiological considerations of ischemic heart disease, and special populations. One of the standout features of The Electrocardiogram in Emergency and Acute Care is the section on advanced electrocardiographic techniques, covering ECGs in pediatric and poisoned patients, as well as special high-risk presentation scenarios. This comprehensive guide is an excellent resource for established physicians as a review and reference text, along with all other health professionals working in this field.

Reading The Electrocardiogram in Emergency and Acute Care, it’s evident that it was designed to be a user-friendly tool for mastering ECG interpretation.
