CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 3 reviews)

By far the best Pre-Hospital ECG book.  
I have always been fascinated by ECG's. I have looked at and/or read nearly every ECG interpretation book out there. As a paramedic by far the best and most pertinent book for prehospital interpretation is Phalen. I hate reading paramedicine books that are still teaching you how to take a pulse and blood pressure. NO @$#%!!! Like another reviewer states, Phalen deals with AMI's, their mimmickers, and nothing else. No basics. If you can't read a 3 lead. Don't buy this book. Once you can this is the one to take you through the next step to be proficient at diagnosing an AMI on a 12 lead.

Clear, concise, and VERY easy to understand. Excellent Book  
As a paramedic, it has become essential to understand 12-lead ECG analysis and this book tops my list of recommendations for those needing to understand how to interpret 12-leads. Phalen does an excellent job of presenting just the material necessary to deteminine if and where infarction may be occurring. I highly recommend this book for all emergency cardiac care providers. This book would be especially helpful to those starting to use 12 lead ECG's in the pre-hospital setting.

Great  
Tim Phalen has written a excellent book for the paramedic or flight nurse. Of the dozen ECG textbooks on the market, this book is the first I recommend. The book assumes a basic knowledge of ECG rhythm interpretation, and then presents the essentials of 12 lead ECG interpretation in light of the AMI. Tim uses a straight forward approach that explains the concepts without patronizing the reader.
