ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy!

I first purchased the 2nd Edition eight years ago, and when I was asked to teach a Basic Dysrhythmia Course at work, I found out that there was a 4th Edition. I just had to get this edition, the pictures and information in the book is basic enough for license staff and future telementary techs. No one gets lost reading this book, and it supplements what I am teaching. Thank you for the 4th Edition. Denise

I am in the medical profession but not a nurse or doctor. ECG Interpretation made Incredibly Easy is just that. Simple english explanations with good graphics for simple understanding of what the basic squiggly lines mean. I wasn't interested in diagnosing just interpreting what the strip meant to my treatments of a patient in cargiac rehab. This book suited that purpose.

I'm a second year RN student and I bought this book to help me better understand my ECG material. I'm planning on working ICU when I graduate; I really wanted to get a firm understanding of this content now so it will be easier to study for my ACLS in a year. This book starts from the ground up explaining the A & P needed, showing you what a normal rhythm looks like and what the components of the ecg are and what they mean physiologically. Then it gets into different dysrhythmias, explaining each one in a very straight-forward manner. As far as one user complaining that the tracings aren't big enough... they are intended to show you the intricacies of the rhythm and spotlight areas of the strip where you'll see the indicated abnormalities... they didn't intend for you to bust out your calipers and figure out how many of these dysrhythmias were occurring, times between them, etc... Those things are explained in the text accompanying each strip and explained in great yet easy-to-follow detail. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about ECG's... especially those planning to get their ACLS.

This book takes electrophysiology and breaks it down into manageable bites. I first bought this book when I took ACLS as a new grad and was scared to death of having to differentiate between Mobitz 1 and 2, etc...I also like using it with patients for the illustrations when trying to explain what "those strange blips on the monitor" mean.

I wanted to make sense of ECGs. I bought a few books to help but I learned the most from this one.
