Designed for beginners with little or no knowledge of electrocardiography, this reader-friendly and occasionally humorous text provides a foundation for interpreting ECGs, for EMTs, nurses, and medical students. Early chapters explain the basics, and later chapters offer practice on interpretation. Presentation of numerous full-size ECGs and ECG strips is afforded by the horizontal 11x8.5<"> format. Quizzes and tests are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
