I have never had a textbook like this one. I don't start this class until early January and I have been a little terrified that I wasn't going to easily understand such a complicated subject. When the book arrived I decided to take a look at it. I was really surprised at how it was structured. Every single textbook I have ever owned (and there have been many) have been the complete opposite of this one in the way it is written. Each page has just enough information on it to make sense and effortlessly follow along. So far I am enjoying the way the author has a playful, friendly, funny, and relaxed approach to teaching and it has really taken the pressure off. After you read a few pages you will know what I am talking about. I am looking forward to putting it all together in the classroom next month.Read full review

Unfortunately it was not a true e-book in pdf form. It was merely poorly scanned images of the hard copy book. It’s difficult to maneuver around and you’re unable to search keywords like other e-books. The price is good but overall not worth it. I wouldn’t recommend.

I think this book is wonderful. I have had such a hard time with interpreting EKG's. It is an essential when you work with telemetry. This book breaks it down to easy to understand the what and why. I have studied many sources of info,including web sites lectures and books. I was reading one of our doctors books. It was an earlier version of this book he used for school. I was so impressed that I wanted my own copy. It has an easy progressive format. It is written with bullets so it isn't dry or difficult to understand. The author presents it with a sense of humor and easy to understand analogies. There are also reference cards in the back that are great portable quick references. I would purchase this again in an instant.
Rapid Interpretation of EKG's has been the bible of EKG Interpretation for years. I especially like the new color version because it makes visualization easier. The author, Dr. Dale Dubin, takes a lot of intricate and complicated information and breakes it down into digestable pieces, then brings it all together for the most thorough picture of abnormal EKG's. The book covers the anatomy and physiology of the normal heart, as well as the cardiac changes that are reflected on the EKG. The reader will learn how to read the various abnormal EKG tracings, and most importantly, will understand what cardiac alterations causes those changes. In my opinion, the best and most thorough book about EKG's.
I bought an earlier edition of this book over 25 years ago while still in college. I lost the book and wanted another, now newer edition. This book has the most images of all the books I have looked at. It is an excellent book for learning how to read an EKG!

I have read glowing reviews about this product. It is the gold standard of such books and is highly praised for how it presents the material and the success of it's presentation. Highly recommended style that allegedly makes learning easy and pleasant, also fast. This book was a gift for someone who was looking for it to use in their career

As an M.D. who specializes in internal medicine, the Rapid Interpretation of EKG's is considered the gold standard for any physician, P.A. or nurse practioner who works in primary care. Somehow my book was lost, and I rely heavily on this book as I am not a cardiologist. This book is concise and very easy to use. Would recommend this manual to anyone who practices in primary care and who preforms EKG's in their office.
This book has always been the Gold Standard. It is required as study material for UCLA medics and in many PA programs. Great to find it in such excellent condition!!
