Advanced 12-Lead Electrocardiography - An Issue of Cardiology Clinics (Hardcover)

Many lives have been saved thanks to electrocardiography (a device that measures the electrical impulse of the heart). Electrocardiograms (EKG or ECG) can evaluate symptoms of heart disease, when risk factors for heart disease are present and more. The sophisticated 12-lead electrocardiography is often used to monitor for myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle). This thought-provoking issue addresses ECG diagnostic effectiveness on heart conditions, the value of more or less leads, the status of computerized electrocardiography and more.
