160 ECG Cases 6th Edition

160 ECG Cases, Sixth Edition by John Hampton, Joanna Hampton and David Adlam provides a practical, case-based method of developing confidence and accuracy in electrocardiogram interpretation.

Published by Elsevier, the book presents clinical problems through concise patient histories accompanied by relevant ECG recordings. Detailed answers explain the important findings, their clinical significance and the appropriate next steps in patient management.

Every ECG is taken from a real patient encountered in the authors’ clinical practice. This allows readers to practise interpretation in a format that closely reflects everyday clinical work.

The sixth edition is organized into five progressive sections covering frequently encountered ECGs, automated reports, single-lead recordings from modern devices, serial ECG changes and more challenging patterns. A new interpretation and reporting flowchart guides readers through a systematic approach.

Five Main Parts

1. Everyday ECGs: Common clinical ECGs, important abnormalities and normal variations
2. Automated ECG Reports: Determining whether computer-generated interpretations are correct or incorrect
3. Single-Lead ECGs: Recordings obtained from smartwatches and other modern devices
4. Serial ECGs: Comparing recordings from the same patient to recognize changes over time
5. More Challenging ECGs: Less common and more complex patterns encountered in clinical practice
