by S. Meloni M.D. (Author), Medical Creations (Author), M. Mastenbjörk M.D. (Author)

The only EKG book you need to master this topic and pass your exam. Questions are included after each chapter so that you can test your knowledge. For optimal learning and memory retention, we recommend ordering this book together with our questions-only EKG workbook!

Taking it one step further than other books. How this book is different:

• In contrast to other EKG books, we pinpoint with arrows exactly where the problem lies in each arrhythmia, making it easier for you to remember where to look for a specific pathology.
• Many books don’t include questions. This does! You will find questions at the end of each chapter so that you can test your knowledge and ultimately pass your exam.
• Lots of illustrations. Many other ECG books have too few illustrations.

Learning ECGs is a valuable skill for both medical practitioners and non-practitioners. Knowing how to interpret ECG readings will help with understanding how specific features of a person’s heart can affect him or her. This knowledge will guide appropriate care, and prevent undesirable complications from happening.

This book is intended to be a beginner’s guide that will provide a mental framework for more advanced topics. Reading this is enough for you to comprehend ECG readings, but you need to know as much as possible to provide the best care.

Study this book and other materials thoroughly. If there is something you do not understand, seek clarification before moving on to something else, to minimize your confusion. The more you understand something, the better you will be able to respond to it – especially during emergencies.

Each chapter includes exercises. The answers to these are found at the end of the book. Answering these will serve as your review for the chapter. Many students are also ordering this book to complement their ACLS book.

Let us begin with the basics of ECG – what it is, what it does, and what you need to prepare for it.
