Description
Electrocardiography is an extremely valuable tool for clinical examination and as an investigative technique in cardiorespiratory cases. ECGs are the definitive means for the diagnosis of dysrhythmias in the dog and cat and may also suggest likely chamber enlargement, the presence of pericardial fluid, electrolyte disturbances, myocardial ischaemia and drug effects/toxicities. This book provides veterinarians with a quick and easy introductory guide to recording and interpreting ECGs. It is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, with concise and practical information given alongside explanatory diagrams.
