ECG interpretation truly simplified

Let’s face it, ECG interpretation is not easy. And, if you are looking to learn basic electrocardiography for the first time or just refresh your ECG skills, it is easy to get lost in the sea of books, courses and videos out there.

So, what sets ECG Simplified apart from the overabundance of available ECG learning resources?

The visuals. The extensive collection of unparalleled graphic illustrations and clear concise test makes ECG Simplified incredibly easy to read and understand. There are full color illustrations on every page and crisp tracings for easy ECG interpretation.
The format. The simple step-by-step format provides ECG facts and concepts easy to learn and remember.
The expertise. Includes a wealth of useful ECG tips and pearls from a world-renowned electrocardiographer.
The practice questions. Access to over 100 ECG practice questions online to evaluate your acquired knowledge.

Although the book was intended to educate beginners without previous knowledge of electrocardiography, its potential benefit should not be overlooked by more knowledgable individuals who might find it a useful resource to rapidly refresh their skills in ECG interpretation.

Look inside.

ECG Simplified is broken down into five parts:

Part 1: Basics
Covers basic cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology, basic ECG theory, ECG leads and ECG waveforms, axis and intervals.

Part 2: Morphological Abnormalities
Covers atrial abnormalities, ventricular hypertrophy, intraventricular conduction disturbances (bundle branch blocks, fascicular blocks and bifascicular blocks), myocardial infarction/ischemia and other causes of ST elevation.

Part 3: Rhythm Disturbances
Covers atrial and junctional rhythms, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, atrioventricular conduction blocks and Wolf Parkinson White syndrome.

Part 4: Miscellaneous ECG Abnormalities
Covers hyper/hypokalemia, pulmonary embolism, low voltage, electrical alternans, pacemaker, lead misplacement and artifact/pseudoarrhythmias.

Part 5: How to read an ECG
Simple 8 step guide to reading an ECG.

“As a PCP of 20 years, I wish I had this book when I first learned how to read EKGs. I love the simplicity and correlations between the pictures and the EKG tracings. It’s so much better than anything I’ve seen before.”
