Clinical Electrophysiology

Neurologists in practice and in training will welcome this resource for clinical problem solving. By emphasizing the clinical symptom and the respective EP findings, the authors help you identify specific problems. Each problem is illustrated by a central figure showing the appropriate read out, annotated to show the key features. Each case follows a  standard presentation over a two-page layout.   Peter Kaplan , MB BS, MRCP, Professor of Neurology, John Hopkins School of Medicine, MD - Thien Nguyen , MD PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology, John Hopkins School of Medicine, MD PROVISIONAL TABLE OF CONTENTS.
