Negative Positive
Title: Extremely Readable
Review: It is very likely that if you are in the health care field, you or someone you know has this book, or has studied it a few times. Now in its sixth edition, it's been around quite a while (the basic principles have changed little in 30 years). I have to say, this book lives up to the hype as an educational tool. The author does a good job with USEFUL diagrams (and a lot of them are fun!), review questions and repetition with key points, giving you the basics without being too sketchy... he starts from the very beginning, how much time is in one of those little squares, and builds from there, covering rate, rhythm, vectors, and then goes into hypertrophy and infarctions/ischemia.As a couple of small quibbles, he could expand the MI section a bit, it seems to be a little more rushed than some of the other areas. In addition, more practice EKGs would be nice, though there are other books and online stuff for that.Highly recommended.
