I'm a second year RN student and I bought this book to help me better understand my ECG material. I'm planning on working ICU when I graduate; I really wanted to get a firm understanding of this content now so it will be easier to study for my ACLS in a year. This book starts from the ground up explaining the A&P needed, showing you what a normal rhythm looks like and what the components of the ecg are and what they mean physiologically. Then it gets into different dysrhythmias, explaining each one in a very straight-forward manner.

As far as one user complaining that the tracings aren't big enough... they are intended to show you the intricacies of the rhythm and spotlight areas of the strip where you'll see the indicated abnormalities... they didn't intend for you to bust out your calipers and figure out how many of these dysrhythmias were occurring, times between them, etc... Those things are explained in the text accompanying each strip and explained in great yet easy-to-follow detail.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about ECG's... especially those planning to get their ACLS.

I am in the medical profession but not a nurse or doctor. ECG Interpretation made Incredibly Easy is just that. Simple english explanations with good graphics for simple understanding of what the basic squiggly lines mean. I wasn't interested in diagnosing just interpreting what the strip meant to my treatments of a patient in cargiac rehab. This book suited that purpose.

book was in great condition when received. got it for work. excellent reference for quick-glances while monitoring.

Great Book to help you start learning strips, it just gives you an edge in the classroom.

These are the best nursing books... I have quite a few of them and they are wonderful. They make it easy for the busy nurse to review and understand the content... Excellent books....
