Rating:  - very helpful to an MS2 or MS3
There are 2 main ECG books med students use, Thaler's and Dubin's. Having seen the other and used this one primarily, I feel the Thaler text is by far better for second or third year med students.

Rating: - The name says it all....
Simple, direct, effective.

A must-own for anyone having to interpret EKG's: from tele techs to EMTs to MDs.

You can build a good foundation with the help of this book, reading journal articles, and reading real EKGs of your patients.

I managed to finish it in two weeks and it is refreshing to come across ... Read More
