E-Z ECG Rhythm Interpretation

Imagine using analogies to teach the basics of ECG! The anatomy of the heart is similar to rooms and doors. Inner city highways are like the interatrial and intranodal pathways. The AV node is the toll booth plaza on the highway of electrical conduction through the heart. This diverting, amusing approach, coupled with sound educational theory, encourages and eases learning for students having trouble with the highly technical, non-descriptive approaches found in most other textbooks. This ECG primer is the book your students need to understand the basic concepts of ECG, the ability to identify rhythms, especially life-threatening ones, and the knowledge to know the appropriate response to patients with life-threatening rhythms.
