Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center
This interactive ECG tutorial represents an introduction to clinical electrocardiography. ECG terminology and diagnostic criteria often vary from book to book and from one teacher
to another. In this tutorial an attempt has been made to conform to standardized terminology and criteria, although new diagnostic concepts derived from the recent ECG literature
have been included in some of the sections. Finally, it is important to recognize that the mastery of ECG interpretation, one of the most useful clinical tools in medicine, can
only occur if one acquires considerable experience in reading ECG's and correlating the specific ECG findings with the pathophysiology and clinical status of the patient.

"Frontline Cardiology", Mosby
This handbook - which has been formally adopted by the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust - is a homunculus of cardiology knowledge, based on the experience of the authors with
the sole aim of helping the reader make a decision when faced with the daily challenges of cardiology. Living in an age where access to the latest trial data is immediate, for many
people lack of knowledge is not the problem, instead it is inadequate experience that holds them back from making a decision based on that knowledge. The Editor calls this ‘evidence
based paralysis’- sometimes you don’t want to know what a group of experts decided in the latest trial but simply want to know what to do next. Obviously there is no substitute for
experience but to help you along the way this book will help you ‘get off the fence’ and indicate what the authors have done in similar situations.
Guide to Reading and Understanding the EKG

"Helbred dit Hjerte", Borgen
Forebyg og helbred hjertesygdomme ved egen hjælp – uden brug af medicin og kirurgi!
Læge Søren Ballegaard beskriver i denne bog en behandlingsform, der med sin kobling af klassisk kinesisk sundhedsfilosofi og vestlig videnskab har vist sig meget effektiv.
Han fortæller, hvordan du ved en lille, daglig indsats kan:
- få personlig kontrol over dit eget helbred
- vurdere din egen sundhedsbalance
- aktivere din krops egen evne til at forebygge og helbrede sygdom
- indarbejde nye vaner med en positiv indflydelse på helbredet
- checke resultaterne af din indsats
Bogen illustrerer, at den naturlige vej til helbredelse er de medicinske og kirurgiske behandlingsmetoder overlegen, og at den samtidig er fuldstændig fri for bivirkninger.
En undersøgelse af 133 patienter, der er blevet undervist i Søren Ballegaards hjerteprogram, har blandt andet givet følgende resultater:
- 78% kan undvære operation
- 65% opnår en dagligdag uden sygdomsgener
- antallet af indlæggelsesdage på hospital falder med 94%
- forbruget af medicin reduceres med 72%
Bogen henvender sig for det første til de ca. 300.000 danskere, der har fået konstateret hjertesygdom. Og for det andet til de 1,5 mio. danskere, der pga. rygning, sukkersyge, forhøjet
blodtryk, overvægt eller et belastende liv har øget risiko for at udvikle en hjertesygdom.

udgave, og grundet bogens store kvaliteter blev den samtidig udgivet på tysk og engelsk.
Denne 2. udgave er på mange måder en helt ny bog. Inden for elektrokardiologien er der sket en meget stor udvikling, især inden for de ikke-farmakologiske behandlingsprincipper.
Det er lykkedes forfatterne at indføje og opdatere lærebogen, så indholdet er på forkant med udviklingen. Nyudgaven udmærker sig ligeledes ved at være fuldstændig gennemillustreret
og samtidig henvende sig til læseren i et letforståeligt og pædagogisk sprog.
Bogen præsenterer elektrokardiologien i en klinisk sammenhæng og er derfor brugbar for både den praktiserende læge og den medicinske og kardiologiske specialist. Også sygeplejersker,
der i det daglige arbejde benytter elektrokardiogrammer, vil i denne bog finde stor hjælp.
Lærebogen er suppleret med Klinisk EKG-Atlas, en kittelbog opbygget af de mest instruktive af lærebogens illustrationer, især inden for iskæmi- og arytmidiagnostik, samt kortfattede
behandlingsrekommendationer. Dette giver et hurtigt overblik og behandlingsvejledning i den kliniske hverdag.
