• Over 600 actual-sized practice rhythm strips – more than any other guide on the market!
• Clear, thorough overviews of anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology.
• Identification of principal waveform components and scores of illustrations for essential ECG concepts.
• Easy, five-step method for analyzing any rhythm strip.
• Chapters covering the most common arrhythmias, - sinus arrhythmias, atrial arrhythmias, junctional arrhythmias and AV blocks, ventricular arrhythmias.
• Bundle-branch blocks, pacemakers – all with typical waveforms.
• Hardwire and telemetry monitoring equipment and troubleshooting tips.

Plus …

• Comprehensive post-test to evaluate what you’ve learned.
• Handy pocket ECG conversion card for more precise heart rate calculation.
• Online PowerPoint® chapter reviews and flash cards.

New in this edition

• NEW: Skill-building approach to learning, with new "Skill builder" practice rhythm strips in select chapters.
  
• Chapter 7 (Atrial Arrhythmias) includes 25 mixed practice strips - sinus and atrial strips - helping students distinguish between the two types of rhythms
• Chapter 8 (Junctional Arrhythmias and AV Blocks) includes a mixture of additional practice strips - atrial, junctional, and heart block - building on information from the preceding chapter
• Chapter 9 (Ventricular Arrhythmias and Bundle Branch Blocks) goes one step further to include a mix of yet more practice strips - sinus, atrial, junctional, heart block, and ventricular - encouraging students to apply recently learned concepts and skills
• NEW: Chapter 10 (Pacemakers) extensively revised to include permanent pacemaker strips and temporary venous strips

Rohen's Photographic Anatomy Flash Cards

This set of 220 flash cards were developed with the primary aim of helping health profession students prepare for a practical exam in a typical medical gross anatomy and/or neuroanatomy course. Although there are many anatomy flash card sets available, none are based on photographs of cadaver dissections. The advantage of using photographic images rather than drawings for preparing for a practical exam seems self-evident. 

All the photographs in this flash card set were derived from the sixth edition of Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body by Johannes W. Rohen, Chihiro Yokochi, and Elke Lütjen-Drecoll (2006). The photographs in that atlas are exquisite in their detail. 

Before trying to identify a structure, the student should first become oriented—that is, determine what is medial, lateral, superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior. The student should use the same approach when taking the exam itself. These cards lack the three-dimensional definition that cadavers offer; thus, identifying structures on these cards is probably harder than identifying the identical structures on a cadaver. However, the dissections used for these photographs are so good that this liability is not significant and is equally prevalent on flash cards based on drawings. 

The front of each card typically has three or four structures to identify. The correct answers are identified on the back of the card. Further, each answer includes some important anatomical characteristic of that structure that may help the student identify it more readily or answer a written question about it. Also on the back of the card is the page number of the atlas that contains the image shown on the front. Thus, the student can easily obtain more information about each image.

Performing well on a practical exam is a skill that some students find difficult to master. Students will find these cards helpful in acquiring that skill.
