"The Marriott name has been a synonym for quality education in electrocardiography for over 4 decades. Widely recognized as the "gold-standard" textbook on the interpretation of ECG recordings, Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography, 11th edition, has been updated with more than 400 new illustrations, expanded arrhythmia coverage - the largest portion of the book - a more functional layout, and a new, reader-friendly design." "This resource is packed with ECG recordings, anatomical drawings, useful tables, and a glossary at the end of each chapter to reinforce new terms. Plus, with this edition there is a bound-in DVD of animations and tracings correlated with ECGs to further enhance students' mastery of the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
