  • If you are studying for the American Board of Internal Medicine Cardiology Boards or some other similar exam, this is the text to purchase. It covers many common yet important electrocardiograms that will frequent board questions. I studied for the Cardiology boards with this text, and found the examination questions to mirror many of the electrocardiograms in this text. As the coding is so similar to exams, it provides excellent preparation material.

  • Excellent book. Easy to read and quick reviews quite good and though some sections are repeated, yet not boring. Very practical and clinically oriented without being unduly didactic.Easily stands out as the MOST USEFUL and RELEVANT of all ECG books I have read.
