Reviews

[Bram]

Given Dubin's child porn infractions, I feel a bit uncomfortable enjoying his book so much. But it's undeniable: the man teaches a mean EKG.

[Kaitlin Hall]

counting this as a book read this year😎

[Courtney (bookplaces)]

I read this book cover to cover and can officially say it is my favorite EKG resource! I learned so much, had so many “Ah Ha!” moments, and was generally fascinated with all I learned and can now understand! I highly recommend this for anyone who takes, looks at, or uses EKGs.

[Misha Lang]

The rating is not reflecting how I feel about the author. He is a horrible human being and I bought the book used so the money doesn't go to him. But, this book was SUPER helpful with understanding EKGs and not just memorizing what things are supposed to look like.

[Morena]

easy to understand and very helpful

[عبد الرحمان]

the best ecg textbook for beginners, I like the organisation of the book but it lacks a lot of topics on ecg abnormalities

[Nadhra Sebbit]

الحمد لله حمدا كثيرا طيبا مباركا فيه أن أنعم علي هذه النعمة
كتاب جميل ممتع و مضحك في بعض الأحيان طريقة طرحه للمعلومة مبسطة فعلا مفيد لكني الآن متعبة و لا يحق لي الاحتفال لأنه مازالت تنتظرني الكثييييير من " revision" لامتحان الcardio
القادم باذن الله
لم اركز في الاجزاء الاخيرة من الكتاب لاني مرهقة جدااااا
أنصح به بشدة
طبعا لطلبة الطب او ما شابهه هههه

[Nour Chafaa]

Je le lis pour la deuxième fois, et ça vaut vraiment le coup pour faire un tout p'tit rappel rapide et riche !

[Brooklyn JoJo]

Wish me luck on my test tomorrow!

[Paco García Barrera]

Un libro que explica de forma muy interactiva y entretenida los fundamentos de ECG. Muuuy útil

[Brooke Poe]

I know this guy went to prison and lost his medical license and all that jazz, but no denying he wrote a damn good book about EKG’s

[Nghia Nguyen]

Nicholas advised me to read this book a year ago. Having completed that, I highly recommend this simple and practical book as a guide for any medical student who are struggling in learning how to interpret EKG. D.D has great instruction, delivers by systematic and concise approach and also lots of humour on writing the example and provides just the right guidance for readers. I love the commentary on this example of non-conducted premature atrial beat:

"This tracing is from a medical student who had a few cups of coffee in order to study late. She went to the Emergency Room because her pulse seemed irregular. The intern on duty that thought that the tracing showed" intermittent complete AV Block" and was about to call the attending physician (at 4.00 am) to schedule an emergency artificial pacemaker implantation. Explain the EKG strip to the intern, using only what you have learned so far (before he wakes the attending physician and DISCOVER THE REAL MEANING OF "IRRITABLE")"

1 star for obvious reasons...

[Laura]

Truth be told, this book deserves 6 stars, but I gave it 1 for obvious reasons

[Bill McSalis]

This book is great educational resource for anyone trying to improve their knowledge of heart rhythms and EKGs. I would recommend it to both new learners and those trying to refresh or solidify their existing knowledge. As an ED nurse formerly in cardiology, there was much that I learned that hadn't previously been well explained to me. The content that I was familiar with became all the more cemented in my mind.

Rapid Interpretation reads more like a narrative than most textbooks, tackling each subject by reviewing the basics and then building methodically into the more challenging concepts. In that way, this book is meant to be read from beginning to end and probably would not be my first choice as a quick reference book.

One additional benefit was the eye catching, bright orange cover which couldn't help but draw the eye of visitors to my apartment, showing them what a sophisticated man of science I am.

[Thomas]

This book introduces a minor issue in my grading scheme. The content is excellent, providing what I imagine will be a wonderful approach (though I haven’t tested it quite yet).

However one cannot overlook the whole pedophile author aspect at play. As of right now I will subtract one star as result. I’m not able to put myself in the “separate the art from the artist camp” but at the same time our author here wrote a mighty fine book.

I reserve the right to subtract another star if the pedophile issue continues to plague my mind going forward

[Jasmine Curry-Thomas]

Highly recommend this book for the basics of EKGs!

[Lucille Nguyen]

A classic of EKG interpretation. Writing style sucks. The empty sentences are not readable to fill in.

But it's indeed good at teaching you from going "zero to hero" on EKGs.

[SlickJim22]

Ok so wow this teaches rate, rhythm, and axis in an insanely intuitive way. Builds back the fundamentals of circuits and EP you learned in premed and preclinical cards in a way that continuously checks back with you to ensure understanding. He’s funny with it too.

Cards and EP are not strong suits for me (which is ironic because I like neurophys a lot but I digress) but this got me in a much more comfortable spot.

Would recommend to any health professional or student provided you’ve had some degree of clinical experience to give it some tangible experiences to draw on.

[Chad Lillestolen]

This better help on boards

[Nicole]

Riveting.

In all seriousness I think this book has helped increase my confidence and understanding of EKGs, and it is a bit tedious but worth it!

[Off Service Book Recs]

Very good information but I absolutely do not recommend trying to read this book cover-to-cover like I did 😂 I am really glad there were fill-in-the-blanks for the course of the book as they helped keep me awake! I anticipate that this will be a really nice reference guide for future perusal. I think it generally does a good job of trying to tackle a very complex subject and make it accessible for the average reader.

[Rishi]

Should I be putting a textbook in this list? I'm not sure. What I can say, however, is that I've spent the last few days flying through this book, which somehow manages to resemble a children's colouring book and still cover everything you could possibly need to know about ECGs as a medical student.

Recommended as a gentle introduction (or re-introduction in my case) to ECGs.

[Elias]

This EKG book has enough conceptual scaffolding built in that I'm pretty sure someone with only a basic understanding of the heart could learn how to read an EKG.

Also the paper quality is crazy heavy. Every page is full-color glossy, almost magazine-cover thickness.

[Sina Homayooni]

I'm giving it a 5 because it was everything I expected from a book with such a title. An efficient and easy read to interpret EKGs for whoever that's just interested what Electrocardiograms are about! Strongly recommended for med students!

[Emily]

This was a simple yet very helpful instructional guide to reading and understanding EKGs. I'd definitely recommend this to medical students or other health professionals who need a guide that takes them through the basics and a little bit beyond.

[Grace]

5 stars for being a great resource, minus all the stars for Dubin having been convicted of owning child pornography.
Just make sure to buy it used or to borrow a friend's copy so your money doesn't go to Dubin.

[Britta]

This book is, so far, amazingly easy to understand. Reading EKG strips has confounded me until I picked up this book.

[McQueen]

This made understanding EKG's seem easy. I hope I can remember what I learned.

[Cristina]

What can I say, it is an amazing book.
Makes you understand EKG like no other!
