There's a PreTest book that's all ECGs with interpretations on the reverse side of the pages. I don't agree with some of the reads but it may be worthwhile.

if you have a palmpilot, a really awesome program to get is PalmEKG. dunno where you can get it -- i think theres a medpalm site or something similar -- and it doesnt do a good job describing general conditions (like hyperkalemia) but its awesome b/c:

• it has a lot of different conditions (the 3 AV blocks, various fibs, etc)

• for each general condition it has a pic of a couple of cycles, plus a general description of the line

• also for each general condition, you can select a specific wave and it will give you details about the wave in question (ie, Ventricular Escape Beat has a wide QRS complex, P waves dont precede escape beat, etc)

basically, its a really good program for matching a picture to a description.

I recommend the book The art of 12 Lead EKG interpretation. It will not steer you wrong. It is usable regardless of level, so you can start from the basics and move up. IT also teaches you a solid approach to EKG's, which is the most difficult thing to pick up.

Not really practice, but has examples of findings.

A great one for hemodynamic monitoring that has all kinds of tutorials at varying levels, etc. is www.pacep.org
From the site:
The Pulmonary Artery Catheter Education Project (PACEP) was designed to provide a state-of-the-art educational program on how to use the pulmonary artery catheter in the clinical environment and measure learning outcomes for the end-user. Topics are divided into four levels (Levels I - IV) to facilitate participant progression from novice to expert. The overall goal is to provide efficient transformation of useful hemodynamic information to allow the clinician to practice in a safe and competent fashion through web-based technology.

I just had my first cardio exam and a book that really broke it down well was "Rapid Interpretation of EKS's" by Dale Dubin, MD. Kind of slow in the beginnig but by the end you'll be a pro at EKG's

I heard this book was the best to learn ECGs. Too bad we're giving our money to a drug and child porn felon.

If anyone buys Dubin's book as a result of this thread, make sure to buy it used.

 

[madtowngirl]

another vote from me for Rapid Interpretation of ECG's. My classmates have told me you can buy it used on Amazon.com for under $20.

dubin is really great for basic basic basic stuff, but it won't take you much past that. If you want basic plus a bunch of EKG's, go for the Art book...
