Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Ibrahim Mohsin, MD, MRCEM (Ballad Health - Norton Community Hospital)
Description: This book provides the core knowledge and competencies needed to accurately interpret electrocardiograms.
Purpose: The purpose of the book is to prepare readers for cardiology boards and clinical practice. The book meets its objectives.
Audience: This book will be a valuable resource for cardiologists, internists, physicians in training, and mid-level providers. It can also be an excellent resource for ACC and ABIM board preparation. The author is a credible authority on the subject.
Features: This book is divided into 13 chapters. Chapter one covers the important concepts and the basics of the electrocardiogram, while chapters two to 13 mostly cover individual rhythms in detail. Numerous figures and tables simplify the concepts. The strongest feature of the book is its pictographic representation of the pathophysiology of the heart along with its electrocardiographic effects on the side. This presents a holistic understanding of the concept.
Assessment: This revised and updated second edition is easy to read and abundantly illustrated.
