Anyone know of any online sites or books to learn not only the basics of EKG but to the level I will need when I enter residency?

Dubin's EKG book and LITFL ECG Library and clinical cases in cardiology

Dubins for real though

Even though Dubin is a pervert, his book is pretty good but it doesn't explain a lot of the physiology. I really enjoy "The Only EKG Book You Will Ever Need." I also found Park's book on pediatric ekg interpretation very useful.

"The only ekg book..." is better than dubins, better read and offered more detail. If you have basics down get amal mattu's ekg workbook.

I like Dubins in terms of learning a structured method for reading ecgs. Then nothing beats practice. Amal Mattu's books ECgs for the EM physician (applies to all fields) Will help you learn to read EKGs in the real world, because the EKGs are ordered and random fashion like they come at you in real life (but they get more complex as they go).

I'll also direct you to the actual ACC/AHA guideline statements on ECG interpretation. I think there's about 6 different ones.

Dubins.

Goldberger's Clinical Electrocardiography walks all over Dubin's book and then some. Read both; I'd only say Dubin's is easier to read, bigger font, more cartoon-feel.

I'm a big fan of "12-Lead ECG: The Art of Interpretation," by Garcia. It's pricey, but it has 250+ full size 12-lead tracings. The interpretation exercises are graded into categories 1, 2, or 3 by level of expertise. So you can stick to your comfort zone on each pass through the text.
