Easily Understood, Mar 29 2008
By Kevin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ECGs Made Easy - Book and Pocket Reference Package (Paperback)
I was issued these books as part of my paramedic program. I haven't looked at any other books of this type, but I will say that the way the author lays out the different rythms and covers them in such a way, that it makes it easy for the beginner student to understand. The pocket reference is great and is small enough to carry with you for fast reference. Highly recommended.The helpful pocket manual/text book contents are as follows
Chapter 1 Anatomy and Physiology
Chapter 2 Basic Electrophysiology
Chapter 3 Sinus Mechanisms
Chapter 4 Atrial Rythms
Chapter 5 Junctional Rythms
Chapter 6 Ventricular Rythms
Chapter 7 Atrioventricular (AV) Blocks
Chapter 8 Pacemaker Rythms
Chapter 9 Intro to 12 lead ECG

If you have always seen the tele monitors in the hospital and don't know what the zigzag on it means, this is the book you need when you have to take an intensive critical care course.This was a required text for my critical care course and amazon did a good job shipping it on time.
I liked the book and as many times as i've studied conduction in my A&P classes, the fact that i'm a physics and chemistry person makes me forget certain stuff in bio. This book does such a good job of explaining conduction in making you really understand what happens in various stages like depolirazion and repolization. I like the approach because you kinda need to know which ions are coming out at each phase so you'll know when to prescribe a calcium channel blocker for a patient and when to prescribe a class II or II antiarrhythmic.
I didn't get time to use the CD because time moves so fast when you're under stress but i did love the pocket companion and the only thing is that it doesn't tell you the treatments in it. You'll have to look at the big book itself to know how to treat a 3rd degree block. I never thought i'd be able to get the heart blocks down in my head but thanks to this book i did.
Just a little thing i'll share with readers, here's one way to remember a wenkenbach. It goes "longer, longer, longer, longer, then you have a wenkenbach."
the P-r interval keeps getting longer and longer till you finally dorp a qrs. My instructor sang it in a silly way and i thought i'd share it. In that way you'll recognize a Mobitz type I when you see one.
I tried different ECG books and this one one worked for me.
