Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography

the book was unexpectedly new.. all my friends were so surprised to see the quality.. thanx man.

An excellent position, helping to review rapidly your own competences as well as helping to create your didactical programm for a ECG Presentation.

Given that electrocardiography is a difficult subject to begin to understand, Wagner has continued the excellent work of Dr. Marriott by updating and expanding on the classic text.

This is the gold standard for ECG interpretation. It is THE starting point for beginners. No better resource exists for seasoned practitioners.
