  Interpreting an ECG correctly and working out what to do next can seem like a daunting task to the non-specialist, yet it is a skill that will be invaluable to any doctor, nurse, or paramedic when evaluating the condition of a patient.
  
  Making Sense of the ECG has been written specifically with this in mind, and will help the student and more experienced healthcare practitioner to identify and answer crucial questions, including:
  
  Are these abnormalities significant?
  How to I distinguish between VT and SVT?
  Has the patient had a myocardial infarction?
  How do I measure the QT interval?
  Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist?
  
  This practical, easy-to-read and easy-to-remember guide to the ECG as a tool for diagnosis and management has been fully updated in its fourth edition to reflect the latest guidelines.
