EKG interpretation can be difficult and intimidating. I assure you, if you read this book from start to finish, you will have no problem understating the most common EKG dysrhythmias. This book is intended to work as a tutorial for interpreting EKG dysrhythmias. It does not include 12-lead EKG interpretation, and it is not a comprehensive text. With that said, it is the best way to get started reading EKG strips and should be a reference for anyone that has to interpret EKGs regularly. I hope you enjoy reading this book. If you find that something is missing, or if you discover any errors at all, please send the information to [email protected]. If you provide new and useful information, I will send you a gift. Hopefully future volumes of this text will be a product of the readers who learn from it.This book may be used as a companion to the online course on dysrhythmias. Please go to ekguniversity.com and click the dysrhythmias menu. You will find The EKG Course videos and you can follow along while you read. The website includes a full course on dysrhythmia management, 12-lead EKG interpretation, and several EKG case studies as well. After you learn dysrhythmia interpretation, you can expand your knowledge by moving on to one of the more advanced topics.

Pathological heart rhythms are a major health issue. In this book experts from various fields provide an important context for understanding the complicated molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie normal and pathophysiological cardiac rhythms. Individual chapters cover a full range of topics, including the ionic basis of pacemaking, the role of specific channels and transporters in sinoatrial node pacemaking, altered intracellular Ca2+ handling in response to disease, computer modeling of the action potentials of pacemaker and working cardiomyocytes, genetic and molecular basis of inherited arrhythmias and a review of established and novel antiarrhythmic agents. Due to the key importance of the specialized pacemaker cells and tissue (sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes) in maintaining heart rate and rhythm, special emphasis is placed on the peculiar electrophysiology of these cells.
