Designed for emergency health professionals

Cardiac Sciences™: for the Paramedic and EMT was initially written for Paramedics and geared towards emergency pre-hospital care. Now in its second edition, the book has proved highly informative to other medical groups such as nurses, junior doctors and voluntary first-aiders.

Whilst the emphasis still remains with pre-hospital healthcare personnel, the books wide remit allows other staff groups to benefit. Input from various professionals such as doctors and nurses have been incorporated by the books author to span the vast area of basic cardiology.

Starting with the very basics

The key to the books success it's ability to start it's education at the very lowest level, slowly guiding the reader to higher levels of understanding. The author has gone about designing the book for people with little or no initial medical knowledge. This allows people already familiar with some cardiac emergencies to firm their foundation knowledge before extending their skills.

After every major chapter, key learning areas are summarised along with a seamless integration with the next level of learning.

Next-generation computer generated images

A unique ECG generation engine, code-named 'SINUS', was developed especially to create the advanced ECG's. The result is a series of stunning quality ECG pictures allowing the reader to fully understand simple to highly intricate ECG's.

To illustrate the book, specialist computer generated images were developed to compliment the books easy-to-read style. Printed in full colour, the books graphic design layout has been created by a leading design studio to give an aesthetically impressive appearance.
