Dynamic Electrocardiographic Recording [antikvár]

Preface "Man was made to move" and the electrocardiogram has evolved to accompany him. The principle of the standard electrocardiogram and its contribution to the understanding of cardiac electrical activity has been unparalleled. In the last decade, however, the utilization of portable ambulatory electrocardiogram recording systems has added a new and broader dimension to this science. This methodology is rewarding the medical profession with a greater perspective of the response of the normal and abnormal heart to various states of physical, emotional, pharmacologic, mechanical and environmental stresses. In addition, with these perspectives, we are learning in greater depth the evolution of the rate, rhythm, conduction and repolarization changes that accompany the progress of the greatest cardiovascular ravage of our time—coronary heart disease—especially in the various phases of rehabilitation in the post-infarction and post-revascularization state. It is the purpose of this book to present dynamic electrocardiographic recording to the medical reader in a practical and "usable" format. There will be an initial discussion on the history and evolution of dynamic electrocardiographic recording, and its place and perspective in the cardiovascular evaluation. A chapter will then be devoted to dysrhythmia detection, evaluation and management with a discussion of the use of dynamic electrocardiographic recording
