Full Description
As arrhythmias may be transient and not seen during the shorter recording times of the standard ECG, ECG Holter monitoring allows the physician to make better-informed decisions for the cardiac patient. Here is a case-by-case teaching exercise in interpreting Holter monitors in the paediatric population. The cases reflect the broad spectrum of pediatric arrhythmias that are most frequently encountered. Paediatric cardiologists, paediatricians, and paediatric cardiac physiologists will develop the expertise to analyse the Holter ECG in children of varying ages.
Key Features:
· Covers various cardiac conditions, from supraventricular tachycardia, and pacemakers to premature ventricular contractions.
· Uses real-life examples with patient follow-up explained to enhance the learning experience of students and professionals.
· Educates specialists to identify arrhythmias or artefacts that may be detected during a Holter examination, and to decide when to refer a patient for an arrhythmogenic consultation or an ablation intervention.
