EKG | ECG Interpretation Made Easy: An Illustrated Study Guide For Students To Easily Learn How To Read & Interpret ECG Strips

by NEDU

Over 300 Illustrations Inside - Special Launch Price! Electrocardiograms (or “ECGs”) can seem very daunting when you first try to read them. There are so many squiggles, often visualized in six different "boxes" on the ECG interpretation page. You've been told that those squiggles mean something important about the heart—but what? In this guide, you will understand how ECGs are performed, what they represent about the heart, and what it means to see something you don't think is normal. Before you get into the hard stuff—the actual interpretation of ECGs, and what to do about what you've read—you'll study the source of the ECG, which is the heart. By reviewing what this important organ looks like and does every moment of your life, you'll see how those ECG lines get generated and what exactly they mean. Then we'll talk about how the ECG is generated and how you obtain an ECG. What is the difference between a "rhythm strip" and a 12-lead ECG, for example? What is a P wave or a QRS complex? After you learn these, you'll be ready to interpret what you see on an ECG reading. The rest of the guide gives you the tools to read any ECG and know what it means. We'll cover all sorts of arrhythmias as well as ECG evidence of ischemia and infarction. We'll also talk about what you need to know concerning how drugs and electrolyte abnormalities affect the heart, and what kind of ECG you'll see under such influences.

Informative!! I feel like my mean coworker can’t say shit to me now

[Kelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reads like a thriller. Absolute pulse-pounding plot

[Joe Eder · Rating 3 out of 5]

At first, it seemed very instructive, but as time passed and my EKG’s were collected, I couldn’t associate my measurements to the information in the book. This might have been my personal experience limitation or knowledge base. I used the 3 star rating for these reasons.

Very informative, and easy to read!

I love this overview of the heart and EKG readings. It’s straight to the point and easy to read. Great book! Highly recommended for nurses!

Helpful, although more in-depth than I need.

[Robert Muratore · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is easy to follow along and learn. Lots of diagrams.

Must read for nurses

Great refresher on EKGs. Goes over everything you need to know about the heart and its diseases and normal rhythms.
