Description

The 3rd Edition of Cardiovascular Nursing Practice is published in 6 separate books that can be purchased individually or as a complete set.

Introducing Book #1: Cardiac Arrhythmias & 12 Lead Electrocardiography

Cardiac Arrhythmias and 12 Lead Electrocardiography will guide you to mastery in cardiac rhythm and 12 lead ECG interpretation.  The 3rd edition contains brand new content including:

• New section on sinus node dysfunction
• New tables summarizing updated guidelines for treatment of atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias
• Expanded information on differential diagnosis of wide QRS tachycardias
• New section on mechanisms of arrhythmias
• New sections on leadless pacemakers and pacemaker syndrome
• New section on His bundle pacing
• New section on wearable cardioverter defibrillators

This book will allow you to grow from Novice to Expert.  If you are a new graduate or a seasoned APRN, this book has what you need to achieve your clinical goals. 

You can purchase this new release in a print version or in an eBook version for use with your favorite e-reader.
