Fine for the Board by carlos dominguez

The ECG criteria section is a nice section and the ECG examples are nicely explained. However, there is a tendency to "overcode" diagnoses and to overcall the diagnosis of electrical alternans. It is mainly helpful for the cardiology board exam. Other useful ECG resources are: 1. Cardiology handbook for clinicians by Hanna, which has 2 very nice and well illustrated ECG interpretation sections and 55 ECG quizzes very well analyzed (in addition, this handbook contains clearly written and organized reviews of all clinical and procedural cardiology topics) 2.ECG SAP which has decently interpreted ECGs for the Board. The best book for in-depth ECG understanding and EP correlation is Chou's electrocardiography.

Phenomenal Book by Sahniah Lambert (Pasadena, CA)

This book should be made mandatory for all medical school cardiology courses. It provides a step-wise progressive, repetitive method to first review or learn basic to more advanced EKG readings and then reinforce and build upon the basic information. I've used this book for over ten years. I've suggested this book to many a recently graduated Resident in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine doc. I studied for the Boards with this book and it has NEVER failed. After the first 100 or so EKGs (if you take the time to read the explanation) you can feel confident that your readings are solid. Keep the book by your desk to refer to it frequently. I can't say enough about this book. Bravo to the authors!

Not so "complete guide to ECG" by Arash (USA)

The book does not provide a comprehensive teaching ECG method but gives practice on ECGs in the format of cardiology board exam. I think it is only good for cardiology fellows and only for the board.

Like previous reviewers have said this is THE book to use to study for ABIM Cardiovascular Disease board exam. You will not need any other book for the ECG section. Absolutely recommended!!

Essential for the Cardiovascular boards. O'Keefe et al have put together a classic teaching book, although their interpretation of ECGs at times seem to be inconsistent. I used the previous edition, so perhaps they have edited some of these inconsistencies out.
