According to the Preface:
" Interest in electrocardiography as an effective clinical tool seems to be increasing each year.
The increased interest has become quite apparent to me as it has been my privilege to teach the subject to medical students, interns and practicing physicians for more than a decade. "

" My purpose in this book it to outline the fundamental aspects of electrocardiography as they are encountered in everyday practice.
Only the most basic physical principles necessary to understand the electrical phenomena of electrocardiography are discussed.
Without these basic principles, interpretation of tracings would be reduced to "pattern memorization," an unscientific approach which overburdens and discourages the student.
Schematic diagrams are shown throughout the text to clarify the electrical phenomena responsible for certain electrocardiographic patterns.
The discussion of cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, bundle branch block and hypertrophy emphasizes, for the sake of clarity, the elementary findings in these conditions. "
