I am admittedly WEAK on reading EKGs. I can do the easy stuff but I need a better understanding of EKG and cardiac stuff in general. Cardiac stuff is definitely my weakest area that I need to improve on ASAP.

Can anyone recommend a good book on learning all things EKG? I learn best in quick bits of information vs reading page after page. I also prefer some photos / images to help me put it together.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have heard that Dubins is pretty good. I really hate the fact that there is a typo on the cover. :sarcastic: It just bugs me!

Yes Dubin! Ahhh the unfortunate history of Mr. Dubin: ...arrested in 1986 and pled guilty to charges related to child Mediaography and cocaine. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison and his Florida medical license was revoked. After his release in 1989, he continued to update his textbooks...still a good book...

Funny/weird because his EKG book is written in such a way, that even a child could understand.
