I'm planning to attend ECG and ACLS training courses. What reference textbooks do you highly recommend? Thanks a lot!

the only reference that you need for acls is the acls student provider manual & cd. aha requires that you have this manual when you attend acls.
if you are interested in further learning regarding acls you might also consider reviewing either the 2005 american heart association guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care or the acls resource text for instructors & ep.
while not required for the class, you might find the ecc handbook healthcare providers 2008 and extremely useful reference.
as far as ekg texts, i personally prefer basic arrhythmias, by gail walraven, although there are several others that are equally as good.
hope this information was helpful!
