Preface
Foreword 2
Part 1 | The ECG in Clinical Practice
Chapter 1 | What are the clinical applications of the ECG in emergency and critical care?
Chapter 2 | What are the indications for the ECG in the pediatric emergency department?
Chapter 3 | What are the limitations of the ECG in clinical practice?
Chapter 4 | Is the ECG indicated in stable, non-cardiac patients admitted to the hospital?
Chapter 5 | What is the use of the ECG in preoperative assessment and cardiovascular risk stratification?
Chapter 6 | Which patients benefit from continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization?
Part 2 | The ECG in Cardinal Presentations
Chapter 7 | How should the ECG be used in the syncope patient?
Chapter 8 | How should the ECG be used in the chest pain patient?
Chapter 9 | How should the ECG be used in the dyspneic patient?
Chapter 10 | How should the ECG be used in the patient with altered mentation?
Chapter 11 | How should the ECG be used in the patient during and following cardiac arrest?
Chapter 12 | What is the impact/proper role of the ECG in the undifferentiated cardiorespiratory failure patient?
Part 3 | The ECG in ACS
Chapter 13 | What is the role of the ECG in ACS?
Chapter 14 | What pseudoinfarction patterns mimic ST elevation myocardial infarction?
Chapter 15 | What ECG changes might myocardial ischemia cause other than ST segment elevation or Q waves, and what are the differential diagnoses of these changes?
Chapter 16 | What is a hyperacute T wave?
Chapter 17 | What is the significance of Q waves?
Chapter 18 | What are the ECG indications for additional electrocardiographic leads (including electrocardiographic body-surface mapping) in chest pain patients?
Chapter 19 | What further diagnostic adjuncts to the standard 12-lead ECG may help to diagnose ACS?
Chapter 20 | Is serial electrocardiography (serial ECGs and ST segment monitoring) of value in the ECG diagnosis of ACS?
Chapter 21 | What QRS complex abnormalities result in ST segment elevation that may mimic or obscure AMI?
Chapter 22 | What are the electrocardiographically silent areas of the heart?
Chapter 23 | What is the value of the prehospital acquired 12-lead ECG?
Chapter 24 | What are the electrocardiographic indications for reperfusion therapy?
Chapter 25 | What are the ECG manifestations of reperfusion and reocclusion?
Chapter 26 | Does localization of the anatomic segment/ identification of the infarct-related artery affect early care?
Chapter 27 | Can the ECG be used to predict cardiovascular risk and acute complications in ACS?
Part 4 | The Dysrhythmic ECG
Chapter 28 | Can the electrocardiogram determine the rhythm diagnosis in narrow complex tachycardia?
Chapter 29 | Can the ECG guide treatment of narrow QRS tachycardia?
Chapter 30 | How can the ECG guide the diagnosis and management of wide complex tachycardias?
Chapter 31 | Can the ECG guide management in the patient with bradydysrhythmias?
Chapter 32 | What are the electrocardiographic indications for temporary cardiac pacing?
Chapter 33 | Can the ECG accurately diagnose pacemaker malfunction and/or complication?
Chapter 34 | How can the ECG guide acute therapy in the Wolff Parkinson White (WPW) patient?
Chapter 35 | What is the role of the ECG in PEA cardiac arrest scenarios?
Part 5 | The ECG in Critical Care
Chapter 36 | What is the role of the ECG in the critically ill, non-coronary patient?
Chapter 37 | Can the ECG distinguish between coronary and non-coronary etiologies in the critically ill patient?
Chapter 38 | What is the role of the ECG in therapeutic considerations/medical management decisions in the critically ill patient?
Chapter 39 | Can the ECG predict risk in the critically ill, non-coronary patient?
Chapter 40 | What is the proper role of the ECG in the evaluation of patients with suspected PE?
Chapter 41 | What is the role and impact of the ECG in the patient with hyperkalemia?
Chapter 42 | What is the role and impact of the ECG in the patient with electrolyte abnormalities other than hyperkalemia?
Chapter 43 | What is the role of the ECG in the hypothermic patient?
Chapter 44 | What are the non-ACS "deadly" ECG presentations?
Part 6 | The Toxicologic ECG
Chapter 45 | How useful is the ECG in the evaluation of the poisoned patient?
Chapter 46 | Can the ECG guide management in the critically ill, poisoned patient?
Chapter 47 | Do characteristics of the QRS complex in the poisoned patient correlate with outcome?
Chapter 48 | What is the treatment for wide complex dysrhythmias in the poisoned patient?

Chapter 50 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of ST segment depression?
Chapter 51 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of the abnormal T wave?
Chapter 52 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of narrow complex tachycardia?
Chapter 53 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of wide complex tachycardia?
Chapter 54 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of bradycardia?
Chapter 55 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of the abnormally wide or large QRS complex?
Chapter 56 | What is the ECG differential diagnosis of a prolonged QT interval?
