"The One" EKG book to own.
3/12/2008
This is the one EKG book you should own; I have heard more than a few EKG instructor state that this is the one book to have on the suject. Dr. Dubin's book is the most imformative and concise book on the subject; he literally makes you learn the information through footer information about key points, mental fill in the blanks with answers in the margin, and suggested review points with page numbers. If you read this book from cover to cover, you would be able to talk to a cardiologist with confidence. It also makes a great quick reference regarding all the key points of ECG.
Great book

If you need to understand EKGs this is the book to get. It simplifies it and has great pictures that make sense. I would recommend to any med student or intern that never got a good teaching.
Great!

Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition
An excellent starting point for those who have trouble with ECGs. I use this book for most of my students. After teaching ACLS for over 15 years, I've found that ECG interpretation seems to intimidate students the most. The advantage of Dr. Dubin's book is that it assumes you know nothing to start. Granted, it's not the definitive text on ECG interpretation, rather a gentle introduction to ECGs. I have found that those students who start with more advanced texts fail to grasp some of the fundamentals which are well laid-out in this book. In addition, I find that nurses and paramedics with limited exposure to ECG interpretation can easily grasp the basics with this book.
a wonderful book, a must for any student/intern

i just got this book about a month ago because some friends of mine that started and are in residency said that i should be able to read ekg's when i walk in on day one of internship. so i use to use those other ekg books in the past but this one, from their recommendation and now my reading, is truly the best. i can't believe i didnt read this in my student years. its very simple and gives you the foundation of understanding the ekg from bottom up. read it like you never read any other book and it will open your mind up to knowing exactly where and what each rhythm is. im sure with experience you learn more as you see more but this is definitely a must have for anyone in the medical field. its like a story from start to finish. possibly one of the best books i've come across in medicine. forget any other ekg book...
