Essential ECG is a hands-on, accessible guide to recording, interpreting, and reporting ECGs with confidence.

The book begins with a clear explanation of the heart's normal conduction system, then walks readers through lead placement and anatomical perspectives. It breaks down every component of a normal ECG before introducing a straightforward, practical algorithm for interpreting ECGs in any clinical scenario.

Covers all major ECG abnormalities - from prolonged intervals and electrolyte imbalances to pericardial disease and pulmonary embolism.

Seamlessly blends ECG findings with relevant clinical context for better real-world application.

Features an extensive library of real-life ECGs, all clearly annotated and consistently presented to highlight key abnormalities.

Ends with a 'test yourself' section: 50 ECGs that are common, critical or potentially life-threatening, each paired with a concise interpretation and diagnostic insight.

Essential ECG is the go-to resource for medical students, residents, and allied health professionals looking to sharpen their ECG interpretation skills and apply them effectively in everyday clinical practice.
