Customer Reviews

Excellent!! Good source for rapid EKG Interpretation!

Great Ekg pocket!!. Very straight, not boring and easy understanding of the Ekg. Really helpful and time saving. Not a headache anymore on reading Ekg. From simple explanation to more complicated but easy to understand. Great for interns and residents.You should have it!.

You must have this book!!

Dr. Brose's "Guide to EKG Interpretation" is a resource that all physicians in training should seriously consider acquiring. It is an extremely thorough book, and its size is deceptive. You wouldn't think a small pocket-size book could pack this much information! As an illustration, I had a question on my Part II board exam about a "J wave", something I had never heard of, even after my EKG rotation and delivering a few EKG lectures. As it turns out, Dr. Brose's book addresses the J wave, while many other resources make no mention of it. Also, the material is presented in a way that is clear and very easy to follow. Full of cross-references, you can quickly gain a solid understanding of virtually any issue you'll encounter when interpreting an EKG. I believe that medical students, interns, residents, and attending physicians alike will benefit from owning this book. Certainly, it is something that medical students and interns should have in their pockets (it is not cumbersome...it's a perfect size).

A MUST HAVE FOR ALL MEDICAL STUDENTS/INTERNS/RESIDENTS

Dr. Brose's book is an amazing tool for mastering the EKG. I have personally used this text each and every day on rounds and seeing patients in clinic. It is easy to read and contains what every student/intern/resident needs to know. I implore all of you out there that haven't conquered the EKG, to purchase this book and learn how to become a master at interpretation.

The Guide to Ekg Interpretation

This is a great book for learning how to interpret EKGs. It begins with a brief review of the basics of cardiac electrophysiology, and then walks the reader through an easy to follow regiment to determine the correct interpretation of the waveforms. The text is written in a way that makes it easy to understand for medical students on clinical rotations and is detailed enough to be useful to house staff and residents. Regardless if you are a medical student, intern or resident, this is the book that will help you develop or refine your skills.
