This text provides an examination of the monitoring of cardiac rhythms. After introductory chapters on the physiology of the cardiovascular system, and the difference between clinical and technical observations, it describes and discusses all forms of cardiac monitoring, including ECG, blood gases, acid-base balance, haemodynamic and central venous pressure.
