It is one that I can definitely recommend. -- Douglas Chamberlain, CBE MD FRCP FACC (Emeritus) This book is highly recommended for any prehospital practitioner learning to read and interpret ECGs or wanting to extend their knowledge. The clinical examples are particularly helpful, integrating case studies with heart rhythm interpretation and clinical decision making. -- Suzanne Moffat RGN BSc (Hons) MSc - Lecturer in Paramedic Science, University of East Anglia If you want to master ECG interpretation in paramedic practice, then this is the book for you. Using this book, you can build your knowledge from beginner to master, or refresh and confirm what you already know! A coherent introduction into the anatomy and physiology of both physical and electrical components of the heart, ensures the basics behind ECGs are understood before allowing the reader to master the more challenging sections of the subject. -- Matthew Crickmore BSc (Hons) - Lecturer in Paramedic Science, University of Suffolk I really like this book. Well written, lots of case examples and signposting. It will be of real practical value for the intended audience. -- Tom Quinn FRCN FESC FAHA FACC - Professor of Cardiovascular Nursing, Kingston University London & St George's, University of London This is a great book for paramedics, students and anyone else who wishes to develop their knowledge of ECGs. There are numerous case studies which are detailed in a way that will help the reader examine the whole picture including patient history, symptom experienced, vital signs and then take logical steps towards ECG analysis, thus leading to a working diagnosis. Even if you have never seen an ECG before, this book will help you understand the basics and lead you through the stages to become confident in interpreting ECGs. -- Sara Douggen MSc BSc (Hons) FHEA MCPara - Paramedic Lecturer, University of Bradford
