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.
