Pediatric ECG Holter : A Case-Based Approach to Interpretation

As arrhythmias may be transient and not seen during the shorter recording times of the standard ECG, ECG Holter monitoring allows the physician to make better-informed decisions for the cardiac patient. Here is a case-by-case teaching exercise in interpreting Holter monitors in the paediatric population.

Due to the brief nature of arrhythmias, which may not be seen during the short recording periods of a typical ECG, Holter monitoring enables physicians to make more informed decisions on cardiac patients. This book is a case-by-case instructional exercise on interpreting Holter monitorings in the pediatric setting. The cases illustrate the wide range of pediatric arrhythmias that are most commonly observed. Pediatric cardiologists, pediatricians, and pediatric arrhythmologists will develop the ability to analyze Holter ECGs in children of diverse ages. Key Features: Covers various cardiac conditions, from supraventricular tachycardia, to long QT syndrome and cardiac pacemakersUses real-life examples with patient history to enhance the learning experience of students and medical professionalsTrains professionals to discern arrhythmias from electrical artifacts found during a Holter examination Educates clinicians to determine the appropriate timing for referring a patient for arrhythmogenic consultation or ablation procedures
