EKG strips

OK guys, I am having a really hard time understanding how to read an EKG strip. Is there anyone out there that can explain this to me in a easier way? Our next test is on the cardio system and we are going to have approximately 12 strips on our test such as afib, vfib and so on. I keep looking at these, but it's really not making a lot of sense to me. I am in a fast track program and we never have any lecture times. We just get power points, and we have our books. A lot of this information sounds Greek to me. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate this. Have a great day.

    A good book to have is Rapid EKG Interpretation by Dr. Dale Dubin.

    You can get it on Amazon here: Amazon.com: Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition (9780912912066): Dale Dubin: Books

    Some good websites are: http://www.emergencyekg.com/

    or Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) library.

    I actually highly recommend the Dubin book. It has been considered one of the gold standards for Basic EKG. It is simple and easy to understand.

    Another book to try is EKG's Made Easy, also available at Amazon.

    You can also try to get these at your local College campus or Barnes and Noble.
