 The most comprehensive ECG book you'll ever own. June 19, 2001

15 out of 17 found this review helpful
This book is written in simple language and easy to read. It remains the most comprehensive and accessible book on the topic despite the many titles published on this subject area. For those new to the field, I recomend starting at Chapter 3 them working back to 1 & 2. This allows you to start by exploring how ECGs work in the cotext of the patient and then explore the theory behind it.This book is an valuable guide. Its small size means you can take it into the clinical setting to help you interpret ECGs in your day to day practice.
Excellent for the understanding of E.C.G.'s February 26, 2002

This book has an easy feel to it. And, as title suggests, it does make understanding E.C.G.'s a lot simpler. It has certainly been an invaluable asset for my work and I would recommend it for those of you who are entering the field of either Nursing or Ambulance Aid.
The best introduction to ECGs. February 18, 2006

5 out of 7 found this review helpful
On first reading, the ECG seemed slighlty clearer, a little bit more understandable. The book starts with clear first principles without being too complicated. On second reading I started start to understand some of the different CV pathologies and their respective ECGs. Then after a break of two years and a third reading, thought I was back at square one. Then on reading number four it all clicked into place - its a bit like riding a bike. So buy it....but don't expect miracles, it may take several readings to grasp the concepts intuitively but once you've got them, they really stick - then you just need to practice.
A good start to interpreting ECGs February 23, 2004

This is the book that's generally recommended to Leeds students who are baffled by the ECG and the squiggles on the page. This pocket sized book takes relatively little time to read through, and guides you though the very basics of interpretation from the cardiac axis to arrythmias and ischemic changes. However, you will have to look elsewhere when confronted with management of the conditions described within. For example, you'll be able to interpret the ECG of atrial fibrillation, but the book won't tell you why this is significant, or your subsequent management of the condition (granted a good medical textbook will give you this information, but I'd have preferred to have the decisions section described alongside the various interpretation of arrthmias. Gripes aside, 'ECG Made Easy' meets its main aims quite comfortably- a few reads, and at the very least, you'll approach ECGs in a logical, systematic manner. The rest comes with practice on the wards.
Not brilliant but useful intro to ECGs September 14, 2006

Interpreting ECGs is difficult, at least at the start, for most medical students. This book doesn't quite make ECGs easy but it does help to provide a reasonable introduction into how to begin understanding what the little lines and squiggles mean.
It starts off with basic info on the rate, rhythm and axis of ECGs then has a chapter on each of the main arrhythmias you'll come across. Some of the very basics in chapter one are not described very well (in particular, the cardiac axis paragraphs), occasionally lacking clarity and depth but they do use plenty of pictures to demonstrate what they are explaining to you and after a couple of reads you will begin to see what they are getting at.
Others have commented that the book could do with some more clinical details but I disagree - you should have a medical text book containing a section on cardiology already. I see it as a bonus that this pocket-sized book limits itself to the difficult enough topic of interpreting ECGs.
Lastly, there are 10 practice ECGs at the end for you to test yourseslf on, with answers explained fully.
Overall, I found it to be a useful book that can give you a reasonable introduction as to how to start reading, interpreting and presenting ECGs to your colleagues. It was great for last minute cramming before OSCE-type exams (at GKT anyway!), and should be good for anyone who doesn't have a kindly cardiologist who wants to teach you how to read them him/herself!
