ECG Interpretation in the Critically Ill Dog and Cat

ECG Interpretation in Critically Ill Dog and Cat is a clinical reference on the
diagnosis and management of arrhythmias occurring in critically ill canine and
feline patients. Using a case-oriented approach, it provides therapeutic and
management options for patients with arrhythmias.

This book shows, in detail, the types of case scenarios in which arrhythmias
can occur, how these arrhythmias can be diagnosed, and what therapeutic
interventions are available. The emphasis on the case scenario approach is
perfectly suited to veterinarians and veterinary technicians dealing with
emergency events in critically ill small animal patients.

* The first book to cover arrhythmias caused by conditions outside the realm of
cardiac disease
* Innovative case-orientated approach, providing therapeutic and management
options for the arrhythmia patient
* An essential reference text for all those involved with critically ill small
animal patients
