Reviews:
The advice and interpretation given is useful, wise and appropriate and is the type of information that one only picks up through years in the job. The book is full of clear common sense and clinical pearls. I highly recommend this book. It is compulsory reading for anyone involved in making clinical decisions based on ECG interpretation. It should be read by physicians, anaesthetists and others and will be invaluable to medical SHOs and registrars making decisions. I wish it had been around when I was training but better late than never.

I'm a consultant physician. This book is excellent. Wish it had been around when I was a junior doc. Buy it and outsmart the rest. Great clinical pearls and practical advice for grown up docs.
