Huszar`s ECG and 12-Lead Interpretation 5판

Huzar's ECG and 12-Lead Interpretation, 5th Edition, by Keith Wesley, M.D., helps you correlate ECG interpretation with
clinical findings to identify and address selected heart rhythms. The text is structured to match the order in which
you learn specific skills: ECG components are presented first, followed by rhythm interpretation and clinical
implications. Take-Home Points, key definitions, chapter review questions, and practice strips help you understand and
retain complex information
