Goldberger's Clinical Electrocardiography - E-Book: A Simplified Approach
Ideal for trainees and practicing clinicians, Goldberger's Clinical A Simplified Approach, 10th Edition, covers the basics of ECG analysis and interpretation, as well as the differential diagnoses, underlying causes, and therapeutic implications of ECG findings. The authors’ award-winning, systematic approach takes readers though the nuts and bolts of ECG interpretation. Beyond these essential details, the text serves as an invaluable and unique asset in hospital wards, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and especially intensive and cardiac care units, where the recognition of normal and abnormal patterns is only the starting point in patient care. Offers practical, comprehensive coverage of real-world ECGs across a range of point-of-care settings, explaining not only how to interpret the data, but the implications of ECG findings for clinical management.
Covers recent advances in pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator technology; myocardial ischemia and infarction; arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardias and sudden cardiac arrest syndromes; drug toxicities; cardiac monitoring, including wearable devices; cardiomyopathies and COVID-19.
Features nearly 300 high-quality illustrations, with an abundance of
quick reference information highlights, including key pathophysiologic concepts, reminders, clinical pearls, and key points, as well as more than 250 review questions online.
Discusses basic principles of electrophysiology in an easily understandable format for students and non-cardiologists.

This is my favorite ECG book.
Include brief discussions about the diseases causing the ECG abnormalities, sometimes with treatment, and handy boxes with summaries of the key points. It’s beautifully illustrated with many ECG samples of great quality. The final chapters come with differential diagnosis, reviews and exercises, which are very useful.
In my opinion, this is a well balanced text, not trying to be too simplistic, neither too complex, what is a hard achievement to get in this subject.
Could treat better some important topics - for example, the localization of the MI is given in a rather confusing way and is not well summarized - but in general, is a really great book, very complete and worth the time and effort of studying it thorough.
After reading this carefully, you will never see an ECG the same way.

Dr.Goldberger is a renowned physician from Harvard medical school.He has written this book in vintage Harvard style-clear,crisp and to the point.
The book makes for easy reading and challenges the reader to think about EKG analysis as an applied science rather than a paper with squiggles on it!
What was particularly eandearing to me were the lucid explanations of complex EKG problems.
My recommendation : A book to own for every physician.

Pretty comprehensible all the way through, methodical, simply explained, almost graceful at times.
