Over the last 25 years of my medical career, I have read just about every book published on EKG interpretation. As a full-time educator, I appreciate simplicity, especially when it is totally practical. Of all the texts I've seen, Dubin's "Rapid Interpretation of EKGs" is simply the best. He explains intricate concepts with simplistic beauty, using a unique programmed learning style and original figures. If you don't learn "all there is to know" about EKGs from this book, you will never really understand them the rest of your career... Mikel A.

Usually I'm not one to write reviews or comments. Although a physician, I never properly mastered EKG's. Initially I was very discouraged by a book touted to be "the only EKG book you'll ever need" (very deceptive). I was advised to get Dr. Dubin's text, which I believe to be the world's best seller. What a serendipitous surprise! This book is so easy to follow and digest, giving me an immediate grasp of practical concepts and in-depth understanding of cardiac physiology. Never have I been so pleased with a medical textbook and useful knowledge that it provides.ER Physcian
This was a great book! I am a nursing student and I was a little intimidated at first because I was afraid that a book written by a doctor on the subject matter would be to complex, however he made it very plain and simple. If I can understand Ekg interpretation, anyone can!
As an new grad nurse, I spent much of my down time soaking up information from Emergency Dept. physicians. When asking Dr Aiken about EKG rhythm interpretation, he answered my questions then referred me to Dale Dubin's book. This book is everything he said it was and more. It is by far the best EKG instructional book on the market.
I was a 2nd yr nursing student with a interest in learning EKG's after reading the book I was the "leading expert' of EKG's in our class knowing even more than most of my teachers.What I liked about it the most was that the book was written in a very simplistic style by a person who had a great wealth of knowledge on the topic. I still reread the it occasionally. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend this book to any health care professional interested in learning more about the heart.
I needed a beginner's guide to EKG's and this book was it. It starts from the fundamentals and goes on to 12 lead interpretation. An outstanding beginning book to EKG recognition/interpretation.
Great price. Same as the newest edition except the new one has cover pictures. Same information as EKG interpretation has not changed!! Recommend this purchase to save money on the high cost of the newest version (6th edition).
If I can learn to read an EKG, then anyone can. I'd heard good things about Dr. Dubin's book over the years, and saw it in the libraries of colleagues. I needed to learn about EKGs quickly, and this book was invaluable. It has illlustrations on every page, simple language, and large type. Best of all I actually UNDERSTOOD what the EKG tracings meant, which was critical.Signed, a GRATEFUL LAWYER
