"By the time you have finished this book, you should be able to say and mean 'The ECG is easy to understand' " is just the kind of confidence you want in a textbook. No obfuscation or ivory tower business, the text states its outcomes out loud and in advance like any good scientist. Even if you begin not knowing an electrocardiogram from an echocardiogram, if you follow this book bitesize chapter by chapter you may achieve that. Interpretation of the ECG is a topic infamously resistant to cramming, so do not expect to truly understand the topic if you attempt to learn it all in one day. The most controversial aspect of this edition of the book is that it is a slightly different shape to the previous editions. It is still the same book stemming from the original 1973 edition, but with natural improvements. Following the sections on what the ECG is about, conduction, rhythm, abnormalities and how to use an ECG comes 'Reminders'. This summarises the main parts of the book into bullet points. Following this, there is a self-test section with a serious of progressively tricky ECGs to interpret. If you want to know the difference between an ectopic beat, an extrasystole and a premature contraction, this is the place to start. If there were ever a book to claim to be the ABC of PQRST, this would be it.

When the consultant presents to you a patient’s ECG, most Medical Students tend to shy away, but this need not be you! Equipped with this brilliant little book and just a couple of hours, any medic can bring their knowledge and confidence right back up to scratch! It answers all those little nagging doubts and questions that make us so afraid of the ECG. The text and images are easy to navigate, the whole layout and format of the book flows, answering the questions as you ask them. I recommend it highly.

I award this book with a BUYER RATING of 5/5. Anyone anywhere, who may have to interpret an ECG at some point in their life, should own this book. Honestly. It is the most concise and easy to understand book I own. And the beauty about this book is that reading it is like reading a summary only once you’ve finished it feels like you’ve studied the topic in detail and better still you will come across as a geek! What more could you want from a book? Enjoy, Latifa (“,)

The cover pretty much sums it up. Pitched at a good level for undergraduates and with a self-testing section in the back its about all you need. And its small too!!

This review refers to a previous edition of this book

A very useful little book. Bought it just before exams in a panic when I didn’t have a clue about ECGs. Basically just sat down for a couple of hours and managed to work my way through the whole book (it’s very short). Taught me everything I needed to know to feel confident interpreting basic ECGs. I don’t think you need anymore detail as an undergraduate, and so for me it was pitched at exactly the right level. I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with ECGs.
