Great EKG Book! November 22, 2009
S. Driscoll (NJ)
This book gives the best explanation of how to read and interpret EKGs by far. It takes you through the process step by step and when you finish you feel absolutely confident in your ability to read any EKG. There are worksheets to go through after each chapter with explanations in the back. Each chapter is short and very manageable so you don't get overwhelmed and there are comprehensive review sections to make sure you can incorporate the information as you go along. Not only does this book take you through the important steps of reading EKGs, it also gives great clinical correlations so that you are learning how to diagnose and treat cardiac conditions. Regardless of what specialty you are going into this book is essential in becoming a well-rounded physician. I would highly recommend this book and you will no longer be confused by EKGs!
The title doesn't lie! October 13, 2009
Jar Jar
This book offers by far one of the clearest and most logical approaches to interpreting EKGs that I have come across. Rather than emphasizing rote memorization of pattern recognition, this book provides conceptual explanations and walks you through a process of reading an EKG chapter by chapter. The level of detail is perfect for medical students, residents, and anyone interested in getting a solid background on the subject. The book reads like a self-study course and workbook, and if you dedicate a weekend to looking it over, you will find that you can really interpret EKGs with confidence.
