Description
Book SynopsisContributors to this volume describe noninvasive ECG tests, their methodology, and applications, while also focussing on specific clinical conditions and diseases. This allows the reader to learn when it is worth using specific tests and when they are not of much benefit.
Trade Review"This is an important addition to the clinical resources of cardiology practitioners on the subject of noninvasive electrocardiology. It helps readers understand and make a choice on the most useful and most appropriate methodology to use for diagnosis, prognosis, and selection of therapy for a variety of cardiac conditions that are well covered in this book."--Doody’s Review Service
"...very readable and informative...highly applicable in clinical practice." --Texas Heart Institute JournalTable of ContentsContributors.
