BOOK DESCRIPTION
The book has been written and structured to simplify the process of learning concepts in ECG. In our career of teaching ECG, numerous students have shown a lack of understanding when it comes to the concept of ECG, 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 ECG, 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: ECG Anatomy & Physiology, ECG Theory, ECG Clinical (Trouble Shooting ECG Case Scenarios), and ECG Competency The book contains different case scenarios and various types of ECG's 12 Lead ECG 15 Lead ECG Adult 15 Lead ECG Pediatrics 5 Lead ECG 3 Lead ECG 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 ECG textbook. This book has been created after an extensive search of ECG 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 ECG textbook Published in 2014, the authors updated the ECG textbook with many additional features that is now available under the following title “ECG 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 ECG technician 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 ECG. Various institutions like high schools, post secondary education, community colleges have started using the “ECG TEXTBOOK: THEORY AND PRACTICAL FUNDAMENTALS SERIES 1” since it has all the required information required to administer an ECG 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.

ONLINE LOGIN FOR SCHOOLS
Buy 1 Login per Student with 6 Weeks Access
The Online Learning Solutions Pack (OLS) is a login that schools can buy for each of their students enrolled at their school for either an online EKG program or a hybrid EKG program. The login will have the EKG content in a program format ready to be delivered for student(s) by the school. The school does not have to have their own LMS, everything is hosted on our end. This option was designed for schools that wanted to offer an online or hybrid program for their students but were not able to do so either due to the cost associated with the development of such programs or lack of technical expertise that it required.
