For over four decades the Marriott name has been a synonym for quality education in electrocardiography. As Practical Electrocardiography's new author, Galen Wagner proved a worthy successor to Barney Marriott with an innovative Ninth Edition of this classic text. The new Tenth Edition features two-color ECGs so readers can see ECG strips as they appear in clinical practice. Extensive updates to chapters on ischemia and infarction provide a current view of these critical areas. The text is revised with more consistent terminology, and a complete approach to the topic that gives the reader a better understanding of electrocardiography in today's medicine.

Review
Doody's Book Review Service, 12-JUN-08, Andre C. Olivier, MD, RRT, Ochsner Clinic Foundation -- "This update of a comprehensive manual for ECG interpretation now includes a chapter on artificial cardiac pacemakers...This book serves to provide a basic understanding of the rules governing ECG interpretation as well as to provide insight into the cardiac physiology responsible for normal and abnormal ECG tracings. The author purposely emphasizes a simplistic approach to everyday ECG interpretation rather than focusing on the complexities of rare findings. "For over 50 years, this has been a must have book for medical students, residents, and fellows in training. After a thorough introduction to the normal ECG, each chapter focuses on various etiologies of ECG derangements. Chapters are well equipped with easy to understand graphics and illustration, numerous ECG tracings to support the text, and a comprehensive glossary of terms. Each chapter succeeds in being a standalone lesson for quick review...This book is beneficial for those interested in attaining ECG interpretation skills."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 93; 4 Stars)

1.0 out of 5 stars
Sad,
By Ham Morris (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography (Paperback)
Unfortunately we lost Dr. Merroitt. G. Wagner has stepped up and authored the ninth edition of Practical electrocardiography. The book hits the basics - THere are a plethorea of books addressing the basics. Historically I would turn to Marriott (or Leo Schameroff - no longer in print) for help with the in depth analysis. The 9th edition falls short - giving narrative examples and referrencing non existent ecg strips - This book is missing several examples of ECG tracings and is a sad tribute to a great electrocardiographer, may he rest in peace.

Still a work in progress,
By A Customer
This review is from: Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography (Paperback)
This book starts with a great foundation, but sadly does very little beyond that. This edition, like the 9th, does provide useful material, even if it is recycled. But, it does little to capture the attention of the reader and hold it throughout the text. Readers of 8th and earlier editions will be disappointed at the readability. Beginners might be better served by passing over this text and trying to bribe someone into selling their 8th edition. The last by Marriott himself, standing the test of time!

This is easy to understand,
By Ken Narasada (Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marriott's Practical Electrocardiography (Paperback)
Recenty I have gotten this.This is easy to understand ! But I have just found many misprints, particulary there are cases that descriptions may be inconsistent with figures. I hope that these inconsistency would have been corrected in tenth edition.
