The chapters were short, straight to the point, and concluded with multiple choice questions as well as rhythms to analyze. This was a very engaging book, and it was a wonderful review that has made me more confident in approaching patient EKGs.

Uh, if you are trying to understand the human heart this is the book for you. If you are not interested, then this is not the book for you.

Very simple and straightforward for learning the basics of EKGs. Would highly recommend for nursing and medic students when first learning how to interpret EKG strips.
