Full Description
Due to the brief nature of arrhythmias, which may not be seen during the short recording periods of a typical ECG, Holter monitoring enables physicians to make more informed decisions on cardiac patients. This book is a case-by-case instructional exercise on interpreting Holter monitorings in the pediatric setting. The cases illustrate the wide range of pediatric arrhythmias that are most commonly observed. Pediatric cardiologists, pediatricians, and pediatric arrhythmologists will develop the ability to analyze Holter ECGs in children of diverse ages.
Key Features:
Covers various cardiac conditions, from supraventricular tachycardia, to long QT syndrome and cardiac pacemakers
Uses real-life examples with patient history to enhance the learning experience of students and medical professionals
Trains professionals to discern arrhythmias from electrical artifacts found during a Holter examination
Educates clinicians to determine the appropriate timing for referring a patient for arrhythmogenic consultation or ablation procedures
