ECG's

[DMDcanada]

Anyone know any good sites/books that allow u to analyze an ECG afterwards......the assigned textbooks are sooo unclear and dont go step by step in a single ecg analysis....

thanks

Dale Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKGs is a favorite in my class and classes above me...check it out. It's very basic at first but it really helps that he spells out everything for people like me who don't immediately get EKGs.

Dubin's book is good.

Another one I've used is "ECG Workout" by Jane Huff. It has something like 500 practice strips with answers. 👍

Just so y'all know, Dale Dubin is a convicted pedophile. Handing down copies is probably fine, buying it new probably puts money into a scumbag's pocket.

FYI.

Dale Dubin's book is a great introduction...

"Yeah, but he's a pervert Dude."

Another vote for Dubin's book, despite whatever happened in his personal life.

Dubins book is good

also, once you have read the book and understand the concepts, here is a good site for practice:

I have found that reading EKGs is pretty complicated and there really is an art to it. I think it takes lots of practice. The Dubin book is good. We had several lectures through 3rd year to help with a system for reading them, I thought those were more helpful than the book.

During my ED rotation we are required to do an EMT ride along. The EMT was told me that he would put his ability to read EKGs against any cardiologist. He said he had 20 hrs of EKG training and even knew how to read a 12-lead not just a 3-lead.

seems he was convicted of possessing child porn in the mid 80s. Just in case anyone was wondering what was up...

I found this site: http://students.med.nyu.edu/erclub/ekghome.html very helpful.

Dubin's book made me feel very capable with ECGs and it also made me feel funny "down there".

Basic Arrythmias by Walraven is also quite good- it's what we used when I did my EKG Tech certification.

Why would you laugh at my story of shame?!

A disclaimer at the end of Dubin's book reads: "If you tell your parents that you read this book I will find out and I will kill them."

Were using a book by Thaler and its extremely easy....I think the name is The only EKG book you'll ever need
