Customer Rating:

Summary: Worth the money.
Comment: Easy to read and understand. Didn't like the CD that came with it, found it difficult to use the calipers, but the book definately helped me ace my test!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very good
Comment: This book gives many practice examples. It is perfect for a person new to ECG rhythm recognition.

After completing this book, I recommend Huzar's Basic Dysrhythmias: Interpretation and Management - Text and Pocket Reference Package (Revised Reprint). It reviews the basics, but goes much faster (with fewer practice strips) -- but more importantly it goes into much more depth. It also delves into 12-lead interpretation much more than other similarly titled books.

Summary: Basic Arrhythmias
Comment: The information the book puts across is good.There are a couple of issues with the rythms which have to be reviewed. It is certainly a book worth having.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Exellent book for beginners to intermediates
Comment: I've been an ER nurse x 15 years, and I've bought several EKG books, and this is far the best. It begins with the simple basics, and gives lots of practice. I would highly recommend for anyone teaching ACLS. The software I would give only 4 stars, but it is still one of the better softwares I've seen. Make sure you have a set of calipers to use with this book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Maybe it's just me
Comment: I really didn't like this book, and I'm not sure if it is just the topic that I struggled with or if it was the text. I had a tough time reading the book...I didn't like the blank lines to fill in the answers, it seemed distracting to me trying to learn the information and having to stop and fill in the blank as I go along.
As far as the information, it was really very compelete and there were A LOT of practice strips in the text. That part I did find useful. It does take a lot of practice in class, in the field and in clinical settings to learn the cardiolody and ekg intrepretaion. If you can get passed the fill in the blanks part, or if that doesn't bother you than it seems to be a very good book. It just didn't seem to suit my learning style.
