Customer Reviews

Great book!

The book was new and in excellent condition, but the delivery company threw the book in my neighbor's yard where we found the book with the book packaging ripped open. This is not the sender's fault as the book was wrapped well fortunately and was still in good condition.

Phenomenal Book

This book should be made mandatory for all medical school cardiology courses. It provides a step-wise progressive, repetitive method to first review or learn basic to more advanced EKG readings and then reinforce and build upon the basic information. I've used this book for over ten years. I've suggested this book to many a recently graduated Resident in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine doc. I studied for the Boards with this book and it has NEVER failed. After the first 100 or so EKGs (if you take the time to read the explanation) you can feel confident that your readings are solid. Keep the book by your desk to refer to it frequently. I can't say enough about this book. Bravo to the authors!

The Book!!

Like previous reviewers have said this is THE book to use to study for ABIM Cardiovascular Disease board exam. You will not need any other book for the ECG section. Absolutely recommended!!

The book for cardiology students studying for the boards

If you are studying for the American Board of Internal Medicine Cardiology Boards or some other similar exam, this is the text to purchase. It covers many common yet important electrocardiograms that will frequent board questions. I studied for the Cardiology boards with this text, and found the examination questions to mirror many of the electrocardiograms in this text. As the coding is so similar to exams, it provides excellent preparation material.

The Best Yet

So many books try and explain ecg's in language that is understandable to the practicing RN but this is the only book I've found that is useful. I'm buying a new version to replace my very worn out one.
