I'm reading through some of the ECG stuff in FA, primarily ECG dx of MI and some ECG abnormalities. BRS Physio doesn't really have information this topic. I'd like to read up on it just a little more to get a better understanding. Is there a preferred reference book among SDN for ECG? Hopefully something as well written and concise as the bRS.

From what I've heard Rapid Interpretation of EKGs by Dubin is excellent.

I used the ECG Made EZ, which I found to be sufficient for MS2.
There are actually several ECG books named ECG made Easy unfortunately. Was this the one you referred to? http://search.barnesandnoble.com/EC...o75-_-Q000000633-_-9780323069243&cm_mmca2=pla
I actually started reading through the Physiology MRS and it does a pretty good job. Not sure if it's too simple but there's not a lot of ECG in First Aid to begin with.

way more detail than you will ever need for boards, although certainly including what you will need .. but may as well invest in this one now to kill 2 birds w/ one stone as this is certainly gold for later.
very well written

for step 1? or life?
step 1- probably not, there are many ways to get the basics down.
life - probably yes, in my opinion, it would be the easiest way of learning it right
yes
note: i haven't taken step 1 yet - so if someone has and can verify that would be great, but i would assume ... step 1 ekg is minimal, and i dont think you need an alternative source to learn it ... and i have heard ekg isn't heavy on step 1

I personally don't find anything more unequivocally boring than ECGs, but it does help if you can take a few days to blast through a resource.
