Basic Arrhythmias

by Gail Walraven

For all courses in basic or introductory cardiography
Focused coverage and realistic hands-on practice help students master basic arrhythmias
Basic Arrhythmias , Eighth Edition , gives beginning students a strong basic understanding of the common, uncomplicated rhythms that are a foundation for further learning and success in electrocardiography. Concepts are presented in a flexible, progressive approach to allow for self-paced or classroom learning. Chapters cover basic electrophysiology, waves and measurements, rhythm analysis, and the five major groups of arrhythmias. Basic Arrhythmias includes appendices on Clinical Implications, Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology, 12-Lead Electrocardiography, Basic 12-Lead Interpretation, and Pathophysiology of Arrhythmias. Practice EKG rhythm strips are included in most chapters to give students extensive, realistic hands-on practice—the single most important element in developing arrhythmia interpretation skills.

[Ryan Cable · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good book, easy to follow and lots of practice problems. The book even gives flash cards in the back to practice. Great book and format!

[John-trent Le · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this book. Very concise, clear explaination of various EKG signs for arrythmias

[Richard · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're going to study ECGs, start with this book. A good, solid, basic introduction. Do NOT do what I did and read Tomas Garcia's book first; this should definitely come first.

The book comes with flashcards, which are very useful in studying. There are a lot of practice strips - some of which had interpretations that did not match the rules described in the book (hence the four-star rating). But the only way to learn to do this is to practice, and having over 350 practice strips lets you practice quite a bit.

It does focus on a single lead (did I mention that it's the first book to study?), and the 12-lead section is only an introduction. I can't start to how well it serves that purpose as I read Garcia first.

The repetition was helpful. I liked the “fill in the blank” reading style.

Very good to help you get the basics down. I read for it paramedic school.
