Book Reviews of The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need (Board Review)

Book Review: Great Start
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this book my intern year and found it a great way to be able to interpret the overwhelming majority of ECGs I saw in the ED. I do think the title overstates things, as advanced ECG diagnoses such as Wellen's Syndrome, Bifascicular blocks etc require further reading, but this is an excellent start. Its very easy to read and will take you about 7 to 10 days to finish and remember.

I was amazed how many people who haven't read a basic ECG text start to finish have tremendous gaps in their knowledge of the fundamentals. I too had large gaps, which this book filled in. If you buy it, don't be fooled because it's written in simple english as opposed to some other texts which are written with dense sentence structure by thinking that its an inferior book.

With this said, no single book has everything you'll ever need for anything, so don't be mislead.

Summary of The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need (Board Review)

This popular and practical text presents all the information clinicians need to use the EKG in everyday practice and interpret hypertrophy and enlargement, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, pre-excitation syndromes, and myocardial infarction. It is an ideal reference for medical students in ICM courses, house officers, or anyone directly involved in patient care, whether student, teacher, or practitioner.

The book features more than 200 facsimiles of EKG strips and numerous case studies and clinical examples. This Fifth Edition includes updated information on pacemakers and myocardial infarction treatment and more practice EKGs.
