I have several books by Ken Grauer. All of them, this one in particular are extremely helpful in learning to interpret 12 lead EKSs. He teaches in a funny, easy to read way. My favorite thing about his books is he gives easy to remember hints and rules that really work. No memorizing boring lists with him, because he teaches you to interpret, not just recognize rhythms. I've been in cardiovascular medicine over 15 years, yet I still don't know it all and find Ken always has something new to teach me. On I personal note, I worked as an RN at Shands at AGH where Ken is an attending MD and he is just as good a teacher in real life.

This is a simple and organized approach to reading an EKG. Goes beyond basic with continous exercises and helpful hints.

I am a foreign student studying medicine at a university in Japan. I don't know what it is but I just feel like this book is lack of something. I think the author has done a good job but even though it may be a good text book, it's not a book that you can use as a quick review. But well, it's worth the money buying because the text is easily understood especially for a foreign student like me who seldom use English in everyday life.

The book is very basic with little explanation of findings. It is less than I had hoped for in a book totally dedicated to one test analysis of heart heart function.
