    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Electrocardiography is one of the most common investigations performed by physicians, surgeons, general practitioners, nursing staff and paramedics. For cardiologists or those who read ECGs every day, pattern recognition in ECGs can become fairly straightforward; for most others even basic ECGs can present problems. If you are a non-expert, a trainee, or simply lack confidence in reliably interpreting ECGs, Making Sense of the ECG is designed for you.


    Find answers to the following important questions:


    * How do I interpret this ECG?

    * Are these abnormalities significant?

    * How do I distinguish between VT and SVT?

    * Has this patient had a myocardial infarction?

    * How do I measure a QT interval?

    * Should I refer this patient to a cardiologist?


    Or, simply, what should I do next?


    "This book delivers a clear, concise, and sensible approach to ECG interpretation. It is an excellent and invaluable pocket-sized resource for medical professionals who require basic ECG interpretation skills in the management of their patients."
    ?Yabiz Seghi, Ochsner Clinic Foundation, Doody's Review



    "If you're going to buy an ECG book, I would make it this one."
    ?Anna Jeffery-Smith, Oxford Medical School Gazette
