Zusammenfassung:	"Life-Threatening Cardiac Emergencies for the Small Animal Practitioner offers a quick reference to recognizing and treating common cardiac arrhythmias and emergent cardiac conditions in canine and feline patients. Designed for fast access during an emergency, the book provides ECGs, radiographs, and echocardiograms for easy comparison in the clinic alongside clear instructions for emergency treatment. This practical resource streamlines the process of treating emergent cardiac patients, putting the most clinically relevant information about cardiac emergencies and drugs at the clinician's fingertips. Information is logically organized by heart rate and condition, making it easy to look up and apply information. Life-Threatening Cardiac Emergencies for the Small Animal Practitioner is a useful patient-side resource for general practitioners, emergency vets, and veterinary students"--Provided by publisher
