I was actually fortunate enough to attend one of Mr. Page's "Multi-Lead Medic Courses." After attending his course and being blown away by what he had to say, I had to have his book. The book is just as advertised. It is great for providers with experience with 12-lead interpretation. The only draw back to the book is that it might be a little overwhelming for beginners. There is alot of info in their. I am a paramedic so most of use a just worried about identifying STEMI, this book goes way beyond that. My advise to beginners is to definately get this book, buy take it slow. Read and re-read every chapter and take your time with it.

I was in a panic. I had a 12-lead final exam coming up and wasn't comfortable with the intrepretations. I ordered this book and studied it for a week before the exam. My score: 105% (There was a five point extra credit question). I highly recommend this book.

I have been a medic since 1995. I have drug my feet about learning something new. I recently took 2 classes from Bob Page. If you are in EMS or public safety you know that most continuing ed classes are not inspiring shall we say. They are a required formality for keeping your license or certification. Well, Bob Pages are different. I took capnography and then 12 lead EKGs. I learned an incredible amount of information quickly. It was outstanding. This guy knows how to teach. If you are buying this book to learn 12 leads, you have either had his class and want even more or you NEED his class. He has a website. Find it. Get the guy to come to your service. If that is not an option, travel to one of his classes. You will not regret it. The guy taught the head of his hospital cardiology group stuff about bundle branches that the cardiologist did not know. And proved it. I am referring to the "turn signal theory" for determining axis deviation. Find out why you should say "NO LEAD II"

Great coverage of twelve lead. I have used several other 12 lead texts and this is by far the best.

Great great book....I took this guys class....this book makes learning 12 leads easy!!! I received it very quiclky which is good because I didnt want to forget what I learned in his class Thank you Bob

EMS, ER/ICU nurses, and physicians should have a look at this text. highly informative, concepts explained, plenty of examples.

i went the the authors seminar a few years ago and have wanted a copy since then. glad i chose to pick this up as it's really expanded my understanding of EKGs and cardiac monitoring. i really like how Page explains WHY you place leads where they need to go, how you can look at a 12 lead and tell if it has good lead placement (R wave progression)and many more examples.

I attended Mr. Page's lecture at our State EMS Symposium, and while the book does not match the exciting style and fun atmosphere of his presentation (difficult for any book to do that, I think) as one previous reviewer mentioned, this book does a great job teaching this now essential skill. The information is organized in short-to-the-point segments and the information is presented in a common sense format. I have read or skimmed through many books on this subject matter and for me, this book did the best job. My recommendation is that every Paramedic or critical care provider should own this textbook. Good luck! - Joe (Paramedic)

This book - along with the seminar- are so interesting! It's amazing how much information is packed into the book, and the practice strips are phenomenal!

This guy is awesome!! Attend his 'edutainment' classes if you can, you will not be disappointed. I've been a Paramedic since 1991 and was very comfortable in my assessment modalities.....That is until I attended a Bob Page 12 lead EKG class. Whoa, what I've been missing!! This is a great book for practicing, learning, and studying 12 leads. You WILL be able to interpret a 12 lead in 10 seconds or less without the costly benefit of medical school. Seriously though, it's a great book and I have ABSOLUTELY saved lives with it. You don't know what you don't know until you know someting different. I challenge you to 'raise the bar' and get this book!!!

Being familiar with Bob Page, I knew this would be a valuable asset to me as a Paramedic. It is a lttle involved if you are first learning dysrhytmias, but is a very good buy. The section on hemiblocks and axis deviation is outstanding.
