Overview

"This book is the culmination of a lifetime of involvement with invasive and non-invasive cardiology by one of Switzerland's leading cardiologists.Professor Gertsch covers both clinically relevant ECGs and very interesting rarer cases of the normal and the exercise ECG, making this work extremely comprehensive. Numerous ECGs and two-color drawings illustrate the text, which is also brought closer to the reader by means of over fifty case reports.Ease of reference is facilitated by the division of the text into separate sections ""At a Glance"" for readers who want quick information, and ""The Full Picture"" for readers wishing to go into exhaustive detail."
