Product Description

A book of 150 12-lead ECGs and rhythm strips, each with a clinical case history and question. The full ECG is reproduced and a study of it with the case history should be enough to give an answer. On the back the case is examined, with a description of the main features of the ECG along with a clinical interpretation and a "what to do" section. The cases are graded in difficulty.

Great
This is an amazing ECG book, it gives clear concise case histories and clear 12-lead ECGS, then overleaf you are told the important features of the ECG, their meanings, the in hospital treatment recommended and the diagnosis. It contains relatively easy ECGs to more complex traces such as Dextrocardia.

This book is suitable for EMTs, Paramedics, Nurses, GPs and Hospital Doctors and Med students

This book WILL give you the edge
This book is excellent. The format of the book makes it very very easy to use. 150 full ECGs is a good number to include in a book and will keep you going for a while. The information presented in the answers will also help you to revise cardiology and you will make connections and learn useful information that you somehow just can't achieve from ploughing through Davidson's or Kumar.

I personally read the ECG in practice before using this book but i think it could easily be used having just read the ECG Made Easy in the same series by Hampton.

Many of my colleagues avoid this book because they flick through it and think it is too much for their level - its just anxiety -shake it off!

Once you get into this book you will find it very very rewarding. The mixture of ecgs is perfect for keeping up motivation and at times challenging even the best. By the end of the book you will be so much more confident at interpreting the ecg and much faster at it. Also i've found it to be like riding a bike - once you've got over the initial hurdle its very easy to maintain your skill level.

Acquire it and make use of Prof Hampton's wisdom. You will far outclass your colleagues.

great purchase
I bougth it for my students and they loved it. Not a theory book... practice, practice. ECGs that one comes across in every day's work.
