Product Description
The third edition of 150 Practice ECGs: Interpretation and Review combines practice tracings with clinical cardiology, providing students with the practical knowledge necessary to read, interpret, and understand ECGs. This essential review book is organized into three sections: introductory text reviewing ECG diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, and clinical correlation; 150 ECG tracings with a brief clinical history; and interpretation and teaching points for each of the 150 ECGs. 150 Practice ECGs: Interpretation and Review, 3rd Edition is ideal as an introductory text for medical and nursing students at any stage of training, for residents and fellows as a refresher before board exams, and for the sophisticated student/teacher as a comprehensive teaching file. |

Oh Well by Janie (OHIO)  2 Stars
September 12, 2009
As a NP student we are required to know the basics of 12 lead. Well, this books spends 50 pages - interspersed info w/ strips that are relatively small (for a book),give some highly detailed information, along w/ the rare easy to understand stuff. Do not feel this book gave up the "education/info" needed to do a lot of the practice strips.
Purchase was obviously a mistake. Definately lots of practice strips in the back - Get a magnifying glass if you are over 30. I did go end up purchasing a different book that was much more helpful

150 Practice ECGs by Med student  5 Stars
August 17, 2008
Dr. Taylor's ECG book is an extremely useful tool for learning to read and interpret ECGs. By the end of his book, I feel ready to read most any ECG. There is a large variety of tracings so the reader gets practice reading both simple tracings as well as the more challenging ones. Overall this is an excellent text for ECG interpretation and the clinical application.

Great book for clinically important 12 Lead Interpretation by Econ Student 5 Stars
September 21, 2007
This is a great book for a doctor (or medical student) who wants to get an understanding of how to analyze ECG's in a clinial setting; it is not designed for the technician who simply wants to learn rhythm interpretation. The first half of this books explains how to interpret the 12 lead ECG, and the second half of the book provides 150 practice ECG's. THis is an excellent book, but there are a few important points about this book that should be considered if you tink that this is the book for you:
1. This books discusses almost none of the basic science of the ECG as do many other ECG books.
2. Dr. Taylor also writes for an audience that knows some basic information about cardiac physiology, so he does not explain much of this either.
3. Many of the practice ECG's are pretty advanced. You have to distinguish in some of them between pericarditis and massive ST-elevation MI's (which look pretty similar on the ECG).
4. Much of this book is geared not simply toward ECG interpretation, but toward clinical decision making based on clinical history and ambiguous ECG findings.
Overall an excellent book if one already knows aome cardiovascular physiology and wants to get an understanding of how to apply this to 12 ECG interpretation for the purpose of medical decision making.

I got an older book than the one displayed on Amazon by Alessandro A. Cavalcante (Lincoln, NE) 2 Stars
October 05, 2005
I got a second-hand book. The picture displayed on your site was of a newer edition. I ended up keeping the book because I thought wouldbe useful for a test I was going to take. However, I was disapointed that I did not get the right product. Hey, Walmart also sell at equivalent prices or less. Next time, I will consider them or someplace else. By the way... The book wasn't useful at all. Gave a 2 stars just because there was one EKG that was good to look at. Your associated seller should be honest and not offer products that they don't have.

Great book if your ECG skills need a polish by Nick Gorton (New Orleans, LA) 5 Stars
January 28, 2004
This is a great book for anyone from an MS1 to currently practicing physicians. I am a board certified ER physician, and I found Dr Taylor's book extremely useful while also being a very easy to read/use text. But I also was amazed by how he presented something complicated in a concise and systematic manner that could be understood from the beginning by someone with only a basic cardiology background. Perhaps the only negative is that you probably should have another cardiology reference available for just a few times in the practice ECGs because he is occasionally sparse with his explanations.
