The 12 Lead ECG in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-4051-5786-5 (ISBN)
To facilitate correct diagnosis and guide management, the authors use a consistent sequence to explain the ECG abnormalities for each site of coronary occlusion. A schematic of the coronary tree illustrates the point of occlusion.
The second part of the book contains a self-assessment section with a series of 15 cases, each of which includes one or more 12-lead ECGs for analysis. These valuable examples help you prepare for on-the-spot interpretation in the emergency department or intensive care unit.
Dr. Antonio Bayés de Luna is Director of the Institut Catala de Cardiologia - Hospital Sant Pau, Barcelona, and Full Professor of Cardiology in the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Dr. Miguel Fiol-Sala is chief of the intensive coronary care unit in Hospital Son Dureta, Palma, Mallorca. Elliott M. Antman, M.D. is the Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School and Director of the Samuel A. Levine Cardiac Unit at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
