Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good for beginners or wanting to learn more
I am a paramedic and love this book only because it helped with school and still has some good information for reference. This book isn't your solve all problems book but it is a great book to teach you and get you started on understanding ECG rhythms and will help you in the future of your medical career. This book helped our class out a lot only because our paramedic books only went over the minimal requirements and most of us wanted to learn more and advance our knowledge and this book did in fact help. Again if you are learning ECG and already know it and want to learn more into it than this book is for you. I have this book sitting on my shelf in case I even forget something or see something new and want to know why it happened or what it means. Good reference material.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only EKG Book You'll ever need
The title speaks for the book! Definitely a great buy! If you are a nurse you need this book!!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good, for the first two chapters
I was moderately pleased with the first two chapters of this book. Then, beginning with chapter 3 on arrhythmias, none but one of the many EKG tracings were labeled with the lead they were made with, and subsequent chapters have almost no labeling as well. This makes understanding the theory involved almost impossible, particularly since many tracings bear no resemblance to those of the normal heart (for an example, see p. 111). Though possibly an editorial oversight, the online version has not been amended. In addition, the definitions of the various waves given in the first chapter is inconsistent with terminology used in later chapters, and some important concepts are not defined at all. The book is full of nonsequiturs, forward references, and unexplained phenomena which seem important. Though comprehensive in scope for a book of its size, those seeking understanding rather than rote memorization of EKG patterns in order to pass some USMLE exam would do well to look elsewhere.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best EKG book ever!
I am a physcian assistant who works in family practice, and I absolutely love this EKG book. I found myself borrowing an older edition of the book from a co-worker and always found to be a big help in deciphering EKG abnormalities. I finally decided to buy a copy myself, and I do not regret it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This IS the only ECG book you'll ever need!
Don't waste your time on Dubin's. Dubin's is very basic. I've worked in critical care for 15 years. If you want to KNOW how to interpret a 12 lead ECG this is the book. I can't say enough good about it. I've recommended it to several people. Loaned the book to one person who liked it sooo much... they never gave it back. On here now buying the new edition...
