LWW ECG Workout: Exercises in Arrhythmia Interpretation

Good condition. Some writing. It took some time to ship to

This book was so beneficial to my understanding of the various heart rhythms. The text is well-explained and easy to follow. I especially loved the pull-out flash cards of the rhythms and the summarized table charts provided at the back of the book. I can't recommended this book enough if you want to get a solid grasp of ECGs. Definitely worth the price!

Great book, very helpful

Tons of examples, explanations are short and concise. There is no in depth explanations about cardiology or physiopathologies, so it's more of a great tool to practice the reading EKG itself. Anormalities in the EKGs are named and clear, though. There are detachable quizz cards and a nice table that you can bring along at work / school. Great buy, amazing for practice.

I work at a Level 1 Trauma Center, and this is THE book used for the 5 day arrhythmia class for nurses. And I can totally see why they chose it. The descriptions are great, and there are a gazillion rhythm strips to practice with answers in the back of the book. This is one of those things that you lose fast if you don't use is often. So it takes a lot of ongoing practice to really burn it into your head. The huge number of practice strips makes this book a winner. I find myself disagreeing with some of the interval measurements here and there, but you'll find that in any book. And that's kind of okay, because the overall net result is that I'm really becoming good at the fundamentals. Today I was taking the post test in the back of the book and found myself positive that I was looking at a 3rd degree heart block, yet the author said it was Mobitz II. The thing that makes me okay with some of these little squabbles I have with the author is that the clinical implications of my disagreements are pretty insignificant. With the heart block example, I'm quite aware that sometimes Mobitz II and complete heart block can be hard to distinguish in some cases, and it may be left up to Cardiology to sort it out. My job is to realize that I have an underperfused patient with a heart block that requires pacing, and this book has been fundamental in teaching me that. Overall I'm extremely satisfied and will be purchasing another copy just to re-practice the rhythm strips again (which I've written all over with ink!)
