Rather than concentrating solely on primary cardiac disease, the book emphasizes arrhythmias that arise secondary to systemic illness, anesthesia, trauma, endocrine disorders, and other critical conditions commonly encountered in veterinary practice. Real clinical cases illustrate the diagnostic process and support confident interpretation of ECG findings in emergency settings.

The book covers topics including:

• Fundamentals of ECG interpretation
• Recognition of normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms

• Perioperative cardiac complications
• Renal disease and ECG abnormalities
• Trauma-associated arrhythmias
• Differential diagnosis of rhythm disturbances
• Treatment options for common arrhythmias
