Basic Arrhythmias and Resource Central EMS Student Access Code Card Package

Basic Arrhythmias, Seventh Edition gives beginning students a strong basic understanding of the common, uncomplicated rhythms that are a foundation for further learning and success in electrocardiography. The first eight chapters, which can be used as self-instruction, cover basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias. Basic Arrthymias then introduces cardiac anatomy, clinical manifestations, 12-lead electrocardiography, and cardiac pacemakers. This new Seventh Edition program features mybradykit, an online site providing extensive study resources, learning tools, and interactive exercises. An access code to mybradykit is provided in the front of the text.

This package contains:
• Walraven, Basic Arrhythmias, 7/E (2011)
• Pearson, Limmer, Mistovich & Werman, Resource Central EMS -- Access Card (2012)

Hallmark Features

Focused coverage of all basic topics—including basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias

• Uses a considerate, guiding voice to help students master the basic concepts needed to identify arrhythmias

Carefully organized self-instructional units of consistent length—promote self-paced, independent learning of basic principles, concepts, and techniques

• Allow students to pace themselves and learn step-by-step in an organized, efficient manner

Ongoing, in-chapter questions designed to confirm understanding—including both fill-in-the blank sentences and direct questions

• Help students confirm that they understand each concept before moving on

Key Points—quickly summarize the most important concepts and skills covered in each chapter

• Help students study more efficiently and use the book as a practical reference

Self-tests—at the end of every chapter; cover essential points discussed in that chapter

• Help students check their understanding and quickly return to material for reinforcement

Practice Strips—provide practice EKG rhythm strips in most chapters

• Give students extensive, realistic hands-on practice, the single most important element in developing arrhythmia interpretation sills

Flash Cards—perforated at the back of the book

• Help students more efficiently memorize the material that must be committed to memory

Requires no sophisticated equipment—students need only a pencil and a set of EKG calipers

• Allows students to learn anywhere, without access to expensive EKG equipment
