Look no further to master arrhythmia recognition,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art Of Interpretation (Paperback)
Arrhythmia recognition is the toughest part of EKG interpretation. Most books that teach it do so by illustrating each arrhythmia with a strip or two, usually using ideal examples. This approach leaves the reader ill prepared to recognize the variations that crop up in practice. The philosophy of this book is "you can't really know an arrhythmia unless you see it over and over".
This book covers all the atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Each brief but thorough chapter concisely explains the electrophysiology of the abnormal rhythm, well illustrated by copious full color graphics, and ends with a series of analyzed strips and EKGs that show the arrythmia in all its possible presentations. As an example, I've always had a problem with recognizing atrial flutter at 2:1 conduction (anybody can recognize the 'saw tooth' pattern at higher ratios). After reading the chapter on the subject, I had it down cold. There are also quizzes and practice EKGs to drive home the skill, and the book has a corresponding Web site with further resources. Highly recommended.

Master ECG Recognition,

This review is from: Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art Of Interpretation (Paperback)
This is by far the cream of the crop of ECG textbooks. Everything you could ever want to know about dysrhythmias is contained within this book. It is written in an intelligible fashion, with many great examples. There really is just no other ECG textbook like it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best arrhythmia books around!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art Of Interpretation (Paperback)
If you've read Garcia and Holtz's The Art of Interpretation, you'll find yourself right at home with this book. While not broken down by skill level, it instead focuses on the general classes of arrhythmias. The structure of this book is more like a workbook, guiding you through the various classes of arrhythmias, completing each chapter with a short test. At the end of the book is a full blown rhythm test, not unlike those seen in Paramedic school.
If you work your way through this book and Garcia's companion 12-Lead book, you will quickly master electrocardiography. I highly recommend this book for all levels of providers both prehospital and inhospital.
