Electrocardiography is a transthoracic recording over a period of time.
Electrical activity is detected and recorded via electrodes attached to the
outer surface of the skin. The recording produced by this noninvasive procedure
is termed as electrocardiogram. ECGs are used to measure the rate and
regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and position of the chambers, the
presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used
to regulate the heart.

Clinical Electrocardiography is the clearest and most
accessible guide available to the application and interpretation of the ECG in
clinical practice. The book proceeds from the belief that ECG patterns should
not be memorized, but rather must be understood based on how they originate; it
is only by achieving this level of understanding that clinicians can make the
most informed diagnoses and thus manage patient care with complete confidence. This fully revised 5^th
edition:

• Gives clear information about
  the correct diagnoses of different heart diseases based on ECG alterations.

• Presents an exceedingly clear
  and linear approach to understanding the application and interpretation of the
  ECG in clinical practice.

• Explains the electrical
  activity of the heart and basic electrocardiographic principals.

• Offers guidance on normal ECG
  patterns and the changes various heart diseases produce in ECG morphology

• Provides a practical,
  deductive approach to the diagnosis of arrhythmias - one of the most
  challenging tasks for many clinicians
