This review is from: Arrhythmia Interpretation: ACLS Preparation and Clinical Approach (Spiral-bound)

This book is good for learning rythm interpretation. The language is simple and straight foward. Unlike many books I have come across, this one is cleanly arrnaged. I was doing my ACLS for the first time and I passed it! Credit goes to this book. I have ordered 10 copies so far for my workmates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best EKG book I've read, August 9, 2007

This review is from: Arrhythmia Interpretation: ACLS Preparation and Clinical Approach (Spiral-bound)

Refreshingly simple system for reading arrhythmias. A 4-question approach to 12-leads and rhythm strips that actually works and you can actually master.

TONS of practice strips. In fact, this book is basically one practice strip (or 12-lead) after another with CLEAR EXPLANATIONS on how to read them.

When you've finished Dubin's and see that you still can't read EKG's, get this book and learn how.
