Book Description
YES! You have the right book!! For thirty (30!) years the world's best seller (printed in 28 languages), RAPID INTERPRETATION OF EKG's is the most popular and most referenced of all EKG (ECG) texts. But beware... success breeds imitations. Competitors, aware of its longstanding success, imitate this classic by using synonyms for RAPID or INTERPRETATION or by substituting "ECG's" for EKG's. Don't be deceived by the numerous look-alikes with enticing titles. There is only one RAPID INTERPRETATION OF EKG's. Now it is the most current text of its kind, since it is updated yearly. Extensively illustrated and simplified to assure rapid comprehension, an entire chapter is easily consumed and mastered in a sitting. In the process of learning EKG interpretation, the reader gains a deeper understanding of cardiac physiology. Emphasis is on UNDERSTANDING rather than memorizing, so readers quickly acquire a lifetime of practical knowledge.

 Book review August 10, 2008
A must have for NP school. Great book. Thanks Amazon for providing the best prices and great services.
 Dale Dubin is a Convicted Felon July 23, 2008

This book was somewhat helpful for learning how to interpret EKG's. It could be a primary resource for EMT students. Medical students will probably need a more detailed resource to explain more detailed concepts, such as action potentials. Unfortunately, while searching for this book, I found out that Dale Dubin was convicted in 1986 on drug and child pornography charges, and sentenced to five years in federal prison. You can google "Dale Dubin convicted" or check out snopes.com for the story. The book was good, but if I had know what he did, I would not want to support his book. What a disappointment.
 Not bad July 22, 2008
This book doesn't seem to be too bad. I do think it is almost a bit childish in its teaching methods though.
Great Book July 17, 2008
I was told by many paramedics to read this book BEFORE taking an EKG class. I'm glad I listened. It completely breaks down the concepts into a simple, easy to understand format. It can be a bit dry and you need to take a lot of breaks to get through the book, but it makes it so simple to understand. I would highly recommend this book.
Flows very well July 14, 2008
This book was recommended by my cardiologist as the best way to help me read 12 leads better. It works. It is easy to read and the knowledge builds page by page. Highly recommended.
