Clinical Electrocardiography: A Simplified Approach E-Book
Ideal for students and as a review for practicing clinicians, Goldberger's Clinical Electrocardiography explains the fundamentals of ECG interpretation and analysis, helping facilitate an understanding of rhythm disorders and the relevant clinical outcomes. The authors take readers through the nuts and bolts of ECG, using Dr. Ary Goldberger’s award-winning teaching style to clarify complex concepts in an easy-to-read manner. You'll learn simple waveform analysis and beyond to present ECGs as they are used in hospital wards, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and most especially intensive care units — where the recognition of normal and abnormal patterns is the starting point in patient care.
Includes Clinical Pearls and Review Points in each chapter, as well as indispensable self-tests on interpreting and using ECGs to formulate diagnoses. Covers the nuts and bolts of ECG, explaining how to read the data and then interpret the subsequent clinical findings. Features practical, comprehensive coverage of the true-to-life clinical appearance of ECGs. Provides ECG differential diagnoses so you can answer the question, "What else could it be?" Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, images, and references from the book on a variety of devices. Includes new self-assessment ECGs and questions in the Expert Consult eBook. Enhances your understanding of difficult concepts through several new illustrations and animations. Highlights the latest information on intraventricular and atrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbances; sudden cardiac arrest; myocardial ischemia and infarction; drug toxicities; and electronic pacemakers and ICDs.

This is my favorite ECG book.
Include brief discussions about the diseases causing the ECG abnormalities, sometimes with treatment, and handy boxes with summaries of the key points. It’s beautifully illustrated with many ECG samples of great quality. The final chapters come with differential diagnosis, reviews and exercises, which are very useful.
In my opinion, this is a well balanced text, not trying to be too simplistic, neither too complex, what is a hard achievement to get in this subject.
Could treat better some important topics - for example, the localization of the MI is given in a rather confusing way and is not well summarized - but in general, is a really great book, very complete and worth the time and effort of studying it thorough.
After reading this carefully, you will never see an ECG the same way.

Dr.Goldberger is a renowned physician from Harvard medical school.He has written this book in vintage Harvard style-clear,crisp and to the point.
The book makes for easy reading and challenges the reader to think about EKG analysis as an applied science rather than a paper with squiggles on it!
What was particularly eandearing to me were the lucid explanations of complex EKG problems.
My recommendation : A book to own for every physician.

Pretty comprehensible all the way through, methodical, simply explained, almost graceful at times.
