As an RN, I was able to explain many of the various topics with many clear examples of the irregular heart beats or other cardiac issues. It is easy to read and easy to understand with many examples of EKG Strips that make sense. It is a great resource that she will be able to review for any questionable rhythms. Review: Highly recommended! - I just started a new ICU RN internship and was stressing out about the EKG test. They told us that if we didn't pass the EKG test twice, we'd be fired. I'm not very good at reading EKGs. So I bought this book and read it from page one. It took about a week of solid reading and studying to get through it. Much to my surprise... I was one of the few interns that actually passed the EKG test on the first try and didn't have to retake it! I owe that success primarily to this book. Not only does it go over ECG interpretation, but it also discusses interventions and medications.

Great for paramedic students and for review
Bought this in medic school and it was well worth the money. It helped with cardiology immensely. Several other students in my class also wanted to use it. Once I finished school, a lot of my senior medics were impressed at my competence in EKG interpretation and knowledge of cardiology. I can’t say it was solely because of this book, but I can say this was a huge factor in my success. Easy to read and understand, definitely recommend to medic students (or anyone that needs help with EKG interpretation).

It is a great book with very good information
It is a great book with very good information. I gave it fours stars only because I am a visual learner and learn best with pictures. With that said, I feel like the book is mainly words rather than pictures to exemplify the words/definitions. Overall, the book is great for those who have learned the basics about ECG's and need to refresh your memory.

Easy to understand, great book!
I've been a registered nurse for almost a decade and bought this book as a reference to brush up on my rhythms. This book is perfect for someone just starting out learning about cardiac rhythms. I highly recommend this book!

Great help for all levels of cardiology even the doctors were impressed
I work in the field of cardiology and I found this book to be a great tool to keep me sharp on my interpretations. It comes in very handy when identifying arrythmias. Money well spent for furthering my education and understanding the heart. I found the price was excellent. Thanks amazon

I didn’t find this book very clear and consice. I would have liked it with less detail and more comparisons of each rhythm.

Good purchase post A&P, pre nursing school.
I love this book. My nursing school only briefly covered lethal rhythms. I barely had time to absorb what was really going on inside the heart. This was just the refresher I needed to really help me understand. I would also recommend it for pre/mid/post nursing school and those type A new grads going to tele floors. 😘

Superb Practical Reference
One of the best medical references I have ever come across. Lots of info regarding heart problems of all kinds, plus drug treatments for them. Very up to date as far a we can see and includes some of the more recent and consultant-only medications. Don't be put off by the title or the cartoon characters - this book really is the business and has been fantasticall useful so far. A must if you have say a single chammel ECG monitor such as the Omron.
