Electrocardiography is an extremely valuable tool for clinical examination and as an investigative technique in cardiorespiratory cases. ECGs are the definitive means for the diagnosis of dysrhythmias in the dog and cat and may also suggest likely chamber enlargement, the presence of pericardial fluid, electrolyte disturbances, myocardial ischaemia and drug effects/toxicities. This book provides veterinarians with a quick and easy introductory guide to recording and interpreting ECGs. It is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, with concise and practical information given alongside explanatory diagrams.

Review
"An excellent book.... extremely readable, well organised and illustrated with a large number of diagrams and ECG traces. There is certainly information suitable for beginners, but the more advanced reader is also likely to find something of value. I think it would prove a useful addition to any practice bookshelf and be read by veterinary nurses, students and vets alike." - Veterinary Times

Great for practitioners,
By Kate Murphy (Bristol, England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Animal ECG's-00 (Paperback)
This guide contains easy to follow information regarding how to obtain a diagnostic ECG, basic principles and guides to interpretation. Common arrhymias are demonstrated with a brief indication of clinical significance. Good value for money.
