Purchase options and add-ons

With over 200 traces to test your knowledge, this book is a first class learning tool for emergency physicians. Basic student-level knowledge of ECGs is assumed, so the reader can move directly to learning about the more complex traces that occur in the emergency department. The level of difficulty is stratified into two sections for specialists in training and specialist emergency physicians.

A minimum amount of information is given beneath each trace, as if in the real situation. The full clinical description is printed in a separate section to avoid the temptation of “looking”.

Accompanied by learning points, and with the cases presented randomly, this book provides a rich source of information on the interpretation of ECGs – a core skill for all emergency department staff.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Mattu and Brady have put together 200 ECGs that illustrate virtually all electrocardiographic diagnoses. This is achieved in a self-assessment format that is instructive and interesting...I recommend these as continuing education for Emergency Medicine Specialists: no matter how well honed your skills, there is something here that will make you stop, think and learn...After you have read this book, I suspect the next person to ask you "Just check this ECG" will be overwhelmed with your knowledge!" EMJ Online

From the Publisher

Over 200 high quality ECGs
An ideal self-educating guide for doctors taking electrocardiograms
Helpfully categorised into level of difficulty
-Intermediate level is perfect for Board Review and for teaching resident-level physicians
-Advanced level will challenge even the seasoned practitioner.
Case histories provided for all ECGs with follow up information on the patient, including mistakes that were made in the original interpretations and why
Useful appendices to assist with diagnosis

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advanced EKG book for EPs. Not for beginners.
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017
Verified Purchase
Excellent review of real EKGs with short one-liner histories, just like when you're working in a busy ED and constantly have the EKG techs asking you to sign EKGs. This book is for people who need to read real EKGs of real patients, and it is definitely not for beginners. You need to know the basics of how to read an EKG first, and this book will help you pick up on abnormalities which are necessary for emergency medicine. It does not talk at all about the basics of the EKG tracing or give an overview of EKG at all, it is cover-to-cover real EKGs with explanations, no wasted space. It does have an index in the back, which is nice because you can go back and find cases of particular abnormalities easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally an ECG book that is actually worth more than what you pay for
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent resource for anybody with a good grounding of ECG basics. This is not for the beginner. The ECGs are of high quality with great explanations of the findings and their clinical pertinence emphasized. This really is for any physician (not just the ER doc) or anybody interested in increasing their ECG acumen and ability. As Dr. Mattu points out it may help you to save a life. I am actually quite impressed with this simple and well thought out format. There is a lot of repetition to hammer home key points. By doing 10 EKGs every day you will get through this book in 3 weeks...and will go back again and again for reinforcement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Format is irritating
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016

Dr. Mattu needs no introduction as a recognized expert. However, this book, whether in e-form or paperback is incredibly poorly assembled in my opinion. The EKGs are in one place in the book and the explanations are in another. So one must constantly switch back and forth. The publisher should consider changing the format so that the EKG and it's explanation is on the same page, even at the expense of adding a few pages!

4.0 out of 5 stars ECG's for Emergency Physician
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
First of all shipping was free and prompt...yes! Okay overall there are 200 12 lead ECG's with patient case scenarios. Before I go any further this is from a practicing paramedics perspective I will do my best to think of everybody else. Ok back to the book. It doesnt give entire pmhx but includes just the basic pertinent stuff ie chief complaint or current conditions CHF, CP, SOB, HTN or whatever. Then comes all those weird looking lines? QRS complexes and isoelectric lines. If you haven't taken ACLS or something similar in cardiology this book wont help you very much. It is designed for the already practicing or proficient healthcare professional. As it says in the title ECG's for Physicians! Answers contain paragraphs of exactly what is going on and if you get confused as to why something is funky there are ref. to diagrams. Good book but if you wish for more of an introduction i recommend Bob Pages 12 lead EKGs made easy and Wahlraven Basic EKG's which contains a cd rom with 1000's of rhythms. 12 leads are a relative new introduction to prehospital medicine and require constant practice to remain proficient. For some reason 12 leads are still not a national registry requirement why? idk and about only basic information is expected ie infarction, bundlebranch, ischemia yadayadayada etc. If you have a chest pain patient and are relying on your lifepack 15, zoll, or god forbid a phillips to tell you what is going on you're a boob and you got a problem. Just remember you are smarter than the machine only you can find a preinfarction, bundlebranch block, PE, and arrhythmias. This is a good book to test your skills.It is not terribly time consuming and you can bring it with you to work or at home. i give it 4/5 it would be 5/5 if it had a cd-rom. I have not purchased the 2nd version so don't ask me what I think about it.

I have used the paper version of both EP ECGs 1 and 2 for many years. I was reading some of the ECGs to refresh my skills, then came across the example shown in the attached images. Such a pity to compromise the quality of such well respected texts by such highly respected authors for want of better editorial review before publication of the Kindle version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Case-by-Case ECG Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2016
Verified Purchase
As a Student Paramedic, I took an instant fascinating and liking to the ECG, when first introduced. I started out with the basics to build a nice foundation, and studied a couple of books to gain a good grasping of interpretation in the first couple of months. I then came across a couple of websites to aid in ECG interpretation; one of which, being Amal Mattu's 'ECG Weekly'. This website has been fantastic and completely indicative to my learning, where Dr. Mattu has addressed a huge variety of cases such as BBB's, Hypertrophy, Atrial Enlargement to the more complicated cases of aberrancy, tachyarrhythmias, channelopathy & cardiomyopathy - all for the 'cost of a coffee'!

I then came across this book. Wow. Brilliant. A huge selection of cases from Dr. Mattu's personal experience. Each ECG is separate to any interpretation discussion - giving the reader the chance to have their say for each case, before matching an expert opinion. The discussions are digestible, understandable & written in a way that the audience can easily understand and learn from. This book is a great book for ECG development, and great to open a random page and to give a go at your own interpretation! Books like these make you understand that it is not always STEMI to be instantly looking for in an ECG in the prehospital environment, there are a variety of presentations that could be indicative of an acute coronary occlusion. Even to the keen eye, some of these cases are tricky and can throw you! BUT - this is the time to be making mistakes and to learn from them, away from the real-life environment and in the comfort of your own home.

If you're interested in ECG and interested in developing your knowledge, this is a great book to both test & develop your ECG interpretation skills.

Thanks for such a great book. Looking forward to completing it and obtaining the second!

　臨床経験３年目のものです。200第の12誘導心電図の判読トレーニングができます。1回目の読破に１ヵ月ほどかかったが、読む前よりも明らかに心電図が読めるようになっている。日常診療で心電図をみる機会はままあるが、自分の心電図解釈が正しいかを確かめる機会は少ない。心電図に関しての解説をした本は多数出版されているが、この本のように実際の心電図を用いて判読の練習ができる本は他に類をみません。この本とあわせて、心電図の読み方パーフェクトマニュアルを読めば、非循環器医としては充分だと思います。
