Worth the money.:
Easy to read and understand. Didn't like the CD that came with it, found it difficult to use the calipers, but the book definately helped me ace my test!
Very good:
This book gives many practice examples. It is perfect for a person new to ECG rhythm recognition. After completing this book, I recommend Huzar's Basic Dysrhythmias: Interpretation and Management - Text and Pocket Reference Package (Revised Reprint). It reviews the basics, but goes much faster (with fewer practice strips) -- but more importantly it goes into much more depth. It also delves into 12-lead interpretation much more than other similarly titled books.
Basic Arrhythmias:
The information the book puts across is good.There are a couple of issues with the rythms which have to be reviewed. It is certainly a book worth having.
Exellent book for beginners to intermediates:
I've been an ER nurse x 15 years, and I've bought several EKG books, and this is far the best. It begins with the simple basics, and gives lots of practice. I would highly recommend for anyone teaching ACLS. The software I would give only 4 stars, but it is still one of the better softwares I've seen. Make sure you have a set of calipers to use with this book.
