 very helpful to an MS2 or MS3 December 24, 2007

There are 2 main ECG books med students use, Thaler's and Dubin's. Having seen the other and used this one primarily, I feel the Thaler text is by far better for second or third year med students. He covers all the main cardiac and extra-cardiac pathology that can be seen on the ECG and does so with very good explanations that you'll remember without having to feel like you're memorizing. His introductory chapter explaining how the ECG works is also excellent and allows you to understand what part of the heart each lead represents, again without any real memorization. After reading his chapter this stuff just makes sense. While certainly not at the level of a cardiology fellow, this book serves the niche of an introductory ECG text for med, PA, CRNA, or ARNP students quite well. As a bonus, Thaler has a pretty fun sense of humor that makes the reading much more amusing that you'd expect for an ECG book.

Simple, direct, effective.
The plain truth is that EKG's are not as mysterious and complicated as some people and some texts would have you believe. This book boils it down to the basics, yet is very comprhensive.
A must-own for anyone having to interpret EKG's: from tele techs to EMTs to MDs.
Really is the only EKG book you will ever need November 21, 2007

I won the EKG reading contest at my program after reading this book. Of course, I did slightly more than just reading the book. But this book gives you all the basics that you will need. You can build a good foundation with the help of this book, reading journal articles, and reading real EKGs of your patients.
Terrific November 5, 2007

I've tried Dale Dubin on three different occasions and always gave up midway. This book is easy to read, keeps up your interest, doesn't clog you with unnecessary information, has a good summary at the end of every chapter, good clinical examples are provided and the best part is that it is quite funny. I actually laughed out aloud where he says wolff-parkinson-white and lown-ganong-levine aren't the names of lawfirms!
I managed to finish it in two weeks and it is refreshing to come across an ekg book that doesn't make you want to take extended break times!
Only thing is I wish the author had used more arrows to point out the specific abnormalities and that the last section of practice EKGS was a little more comprehensive.
But I think it is a good resource for residents and students. And I would pick it over Dale Dubin anyday.
