A well written, well organised exploration of the electrocardiogram, revealing problems with interpretation of them that hadn’t begun to cross my mind. Worth the time investment over and above books that simplify things to the extent of “The ECG Made Easy”. You will become far better at interpreting cardiac electrophysiology through reading this book.

A practical, advanced guide to ECG interpretation
I learned ECG interpretation through the commonly known "Dubin's Rapid EKG Interpretation" book as a young medic. While it is a solid introductory guide to the basics, it is limited in its applicability and should be treated as a gateway to texts like this.
Marriott is one of a few names in electrocardiography sure to perk up a purist's ears, along with Amal Mattu, Chung, Chan, and Steve Smith. It's easy to see why with texts like this. This is an easy to understand, constant companion for ECGs. The utility of axis interpretation used to mystify me no matter how much I read about it or how many ECGs I interpreted. This book really helped the "rubber meet road," & I finally feel comfortable discussing axis and using it.
I am also reading a more clinically applicable text about prognostication and scenario-based ECGs (penned by the Master, Dr. Mattu, of course), which is even more advanced, this is a necessary bridge between the basics like Dubin & Dr. Mattu/Dr. Steve Smith. The graphics are helpful & not overwhelming, the explanations are concrete, and the overall structure of the book is sensible and pragmatic.
This is a book that will never lose its utility, & if you need to know ECGs, you'll need this book.
5/5--a must have
