Product Description

Review
"The ECG Made Easy has for some time been the pocket reference for junior doctors... invaluable in a clinical setting."Nursing Standard
godsend to thousands of practising physicians and surgeons who have never mastered the ECG, but always felt they should have done."European Medical Journal
fact that 'The ECG Made Easy' is now in its sixth edition must be testament to the enduring popularity of this book. It's an easy step-by-step readable guide to how to interpret ECGs." "Medical Student," MAD Magazine (Medics and Dentists at Barts and The London), April 2003
good starter, but you may need some help. One of the most popular introductory texts on this subject. All the basic concepts for understanding this topic are included, though there could be more emphasis on possible areas of confusion; such as the different between leads and wires . This book also suffers from only being pocket sized and having pocket sized tracings, and on pages that depict limb and chest leads the layout could be improved to show that they are separate groups. For a newcomer to this subject you may not find it all that easy, as the explanations may need some practical demonstrations from an accomplished teacher with topics such as the cardiac axis. However this book does avoid the jargon and physiology that can be off putting in most other introductory texts. If this book leaves you with further questions, you would probably also need and indeed benefit from the author s two other titles The ECG in Practice and 100 ECG Problems . This would enable you to improve your skills of interpretation, and the three titles bought over time would provide an adequate inexpensive reference shelf for most health careworkers. The ECG is never easy to understand for beginners, but this book does at least try."Review on Amazon.co.uk --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start to interpreting ECGs, 23 Feb 2004
By Majuran Umapathee (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The ECG Made Easy (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive ECG book you'll ever own., 19 Jun 2001
This review is from: The ECG Made Easy (Paperback)
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.
