Hey ppl what is the best ECG textbook in your opinion cause im interested in buying one. ( i already know ecg but i need somethin that is the most updated around). Thnx!
 
A lot of people like Dubin. I thought it was terrible, too simplistic, and I couldn't pay attention to it for more than 3 seconds. I liked "The only EKG book you'll ever need" by Thaler.
 
I used Garcia's 12 lead EKG book and really liked it. Starts of with basics and has 3 different levels of complexity so you can start on basic and hen go back and add on some mid and expert level interpretation.

The best aspect i thought is that it was a ton of 12 samples, so it will introduce a concept, such as ST depression/elevation and then walk you through a half dozen examples.

There are better books if you want a lot of detailed physiology and theory behind ECG but I've found for reading ECCS in a clinical context nothing is better than practice looking at actual 12 leads.
