BOOK DESCRIPTION
The book has been written and structured to simplify the process of learning concepts in EKG. In our career of teaching EKG, numerous students have shown a lack of understanding when it comes to the concept of EKG, Our aim is to make the process of learning easy for students. The book covers most of the essential topics required to understand the concepts of EKG, it is concise and to the point. As per our experience we believe that "Learning process can only be easy when the contents for learning are laid out in a simplified manner." Thus we have separated the contents of the book as follows: EKG Anatomy & Physiology, EKG Theory, EKG Clinical (Trouble Shooting EKG Case Scenarios), and EKG Competency The book contains different case scenarios and various types of EKG's 12 Lead EKG 15 Lead EKG Adult 15 Lead EKG Pediatrics 5 Lead EKG 3 Lead EKG Stress Testing Telemetry Holter Monitoring Easy to understand graph interpretations in tabular format. Table for easy understanding of different types of interpretation. Congratulations on choosing a healthcare career.

FROM THE AUTHORS DESK
Increasing demand of technicians in medical field and lack of all in one compiled educational resource led to the evolution of the textbook. This book has been created after an extensive search of EKG technician profession and keeping in mind the new trends and procedures required for the on job tasks. After the success of the previous edition of the textbook Published in 2014, the authors updated the textbook with many additional features that is now available under the following title “Cardiac Monitor Technician Textbook: THEORY AND PRACTICAL FUNDAMENTALS SERIES 1”. The authors have tried to keep the book concise and to the point. The knowledge in this New Edition has been provided for individuals planning to pursue an EKG profession at a postsecondary or college level. The language used in the book is simplistic and somewhat easy to comprehend for individuals to understand the concepts of EKG. Various institutions like high schools, post secondary education, community colleges have started using the “Cardiac Monitor Technician Textbook: THEORY AND PRACTICAL FUNDAMENTALS SERIES 1” since it has all the required information required to administer an EKG technician Program ranging from a shorter program of 60 Hour in duration to longer program of 300 Hours in duration Finally, the authors would like to thank everyone who has contributed in making this project possible.
