ECG Interpretation for the Clinical Exercise Physiologist

by christopher-dunbar, Barry Saul

This is the first ECG book on the market that addresses the specific needs of those in the exercise science field. Because it's written for clinical exercise physiologists and exercise specialists, it enables readers to tailor stress tests and cardiac rehabilitation programs to meet the needs of their patients. Beginning with an introduction to basic concepts and measurements, the book explores rhythm and atrioventricular blocks followed by discussions of such key topics as infarct, hypertrophy, axis, and conduction defects. The text includes exercise-related case studies and incorporates ACSM guidelines, so it can be used for certification candidates.

I have been a Clinical EP for almost 20 years. I spent my years in college studying Dale Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKGs, which was a tremendous learning tool. But after I graduated, it always troubled me that there were so few resources, specific for the field. I came upon this book several years ago and was very pleased with it. It takes everything that I was taught as an undergraduate, and builds upon it in a very easy to understand and well-organized way. I would highly recommend this to any EP as a valuable tool, akin to ACSM and NSCA texts.
