12-Lead ECG's

[Adam]

Hi all. New to MedicCast Im a Medic in Hamilton, ON.
Anyway Im really looking at getting into studying 12 Leads but am not quite sure where to start, I have my texts from college but was hoping to start with something a little more "dumbed down". Anyone out there know of any internet resources or books available?
Thanks

Adam.

I have several that I think are quite good. The one that was recommended most highly by just about everyone was 'Rapid Interpretation of EKG's' by Dale Dubin. It goes into a bit of A&P with how the EKG looks at the heart, and really gets you to analyze the EKG, rather than just memorizing what rhythms look like. I wouldn't call it 'dumbed down,' but I would call it...'all-inclusive.' It starts out with the basics, and reviews what you've already read in just about every chapter. Best part...it can be found on amazon.com.

The rest are at home, and I am not, so I can't get you the names now, but I will try this evening.

Adam,

I would most highly recommend Bob Page's 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers. Click on the Amazon Link here to get the book delivered now. Bob offers one of the most entertaining and informative seminars on 12 leads via his MultiLead Medics program. His classes are always humorous and educational and you end up reading hundreds of 12 leads in the course of his program. His book is a bit dryer in nature simply because it is a book and he was restrained from presenting his usual wit and commentary by the publisher.

I hope that helps.
