Summary: a helpful summary of all ECG recordings
Comment: A good text for reviewing ECGs and understanding the diagnosis. A good selection of practice ECGs. More text would have been helpful in discussing the diagnosis.

Rating: 1
Summary: Good layout of text, clear definition of many ECG recordings
Comment: The introductory chapters offer the nurse or clinician a very good guide to interpretation of ECGs. The different diagnoses are explained and details are given of what these can look like on the ECG recording. A helpful guide for the novice, or a good text to have around to act as a reference.

Summary: the book to use if you really expect to read ECG's
Comment: The first two chapters provide plenty of introduction, and are quite well written. My guess is that Dr. Taylor is an enthusiastic teacher and a clear thinker. But the great advantage of the book is the practice tracings. The reproduction is excellent, and there is a wide variety. For example, there are more than 70 that are of ischemic patterns. Taylor's interpretations are brief but informative, and he provides a number of clinical pearls. I read the book using the method he suggested: writing my interpretation, then reading answers after a batch of 10-20. By the time I was halfway through, I had a fair amount of confidence. As a beginning 4th year student, I now am better at ECG interpretation than almost all of our medical residents at Stanford.
