Essentials of Electrodiagnostic Medicine

Essentials of Electrodiagnostic Medicine is an intermediate level text for residents, fellows, and practitioners. This practical book is readable in the course of a standard resident rotation and ideal for board exam review, while also comprehensive enough to be a useful reference. The second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout while retaining the key features of the first edition.

Essentials of Electrodiagnostic Medicine is divided into two parts.

Each chapter begins with an outline and concludes with a bulleted list of key points and annotated bibliography that succinctly summarizes the relevant literature.
