Using straightforward, easy-to-understand language, this essential resource helps you understand how the heart functions and how to interpret ECGs - essential knowledge that will allow you to anticipate the appropriate treatment for each. It provides an overview of the normal conduction pathway of the heart, as well as comprehensive coverage of basic cardiac dysthythmias that highlights what happens in the heart's electrical conduction system to cause the appearance of a dysrhythmia. Coverage of all topics reflects the 2005 emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. Case studies, flashcards, puzzles, and more than 325 practice strips are included to reinforce your understanding of key concepts and encourage you to apply your knowledge.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Easy read & great work book
Comment: I would have given it 5 stars, but I had a professor walk me through everything. Therefore, I do not know what it would be like starting from scratch. It offers a great deal of information and examples, as well as, chances for review. Of the other EKG & ECG books I've reviewed, I like this one the best!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great seller but item was not as described.
Comment: Great seller-I needed the book in a hurry and the seller was very accommodating. Unfortunately, the book was described as "Excellent-Like New." This was not the case. The book is in great condition but many of the pages had writing on them. Considering the fact that this is a workbook, it is pretty distracting to see what someone else filled in for the answers. I would have paid more for a book that did not contain writing. This seller needs to consider the definitions on Amazon for their criteria of Like New, etc.
Customer Rating:
Summary: EKG INTERPRETATION
Comment: I found this to be one of the easiest books on EKG to understand. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Another worthless book!
Comment: Another ECG book with terrible illustrations of ECG rhythms that are hard to read. They are in black & white and fuzzy! This book is also over-priced! This is also another ECG book that is witten like a childrens book! The only good part of this book is that it has flash-cards on ECG rhthyms and cardiology meds. Please don't waste your money!
Customer Rating:
Summary: concisive book
Comment: This book has everything I needed for nursing, descriptions, illustrations, and summaries of each dysrthymia I could want. I am very pleased. It's the best first book to learn from. Shan B.
