this text for the physician who manages patients not only in the ED but also in other acute care
settings – whether it be in the office, the hospital ward, critical care unit, the out-of-hospital arena, or other patientcare
locale. We have used actual ECGs from patients treated in our EDs; a brief but accurate history has also been
provided in each instance. In certain cases, the history may provide a clue to the diagnosis yet in other situations the
clinical information will have no relationship to the final diagnosis – as is the case in the ED. We have made an effort
to choose the most appropriate ECG from each patient, but as occurs in “real ED,” some of the ECGs are imperfect:
the evaluation is hindered by artifact, incomplete electrocardiographic sampling, etc. We have also provided the ECGs
in a random fashion, much the way actual patients present to the emergency department. We have endeavored to
reproduce the reality of the ED when the reader uses this text to expand their knowledge of the 12-lead electrocardiogram
and how it relates to patient care.
