AlbakiReads Editorial

A structured introduction to EKG interpretation

Karen Ellis’s text builds from cardiac anatomy and physiology to rhythm reading and 12-lead interpretation. Its two-part structure moves from waves, complexes, lead morphology, and rhythms to topics including axis, hypertrophy, and myocardial infarction. Clinical scenarios, critical-thinking exercises, and more than 500 practice rhythm strips and 12-lead EKGs give learners opportunities to apply the concepts. The publisher describes this fourth edition as including revised opening scenarios, streamlined explanations, new tables, and additional visual aids. MyHealthProfessionsLab is not included with this standalone paperback.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students taking courses in electrocardiogram interpretation
  • Learners seeking practice with rhythm strips and 12-lead EKGs
  • Readers who want instruction that begins with foundational cardiac concepts

Book overview

For courses in reading electrocardiograms

This conversational text teaches EKG from basic to advanced concepts
Unlike books that encourage rote memorization, the conversationally-written EKG Plain and Simple puts the student at the patient's bedside. This popular text focuses not just on identifying rhythms or EKGs, but also on what can be done for the patient. Assuming no prior knowledge, the text covers basic to advanced EKG concepts. Part I progresses seamlessly from basic cardiac A&P through waves and complexes, lead morphology, and rhythms. Part II covers 12-lead interpretation, axis, hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, and more. The author provides many clinical scenarios, anecdotes, and critical-thinking exercises, plus over 500 practice rhythm strips and 12-lead EKGs. The Fourth Edition has been updated to include improved opening scenarios, streamlined explanations, new tables, and more photos, art, and visual aids.

Also available with MyHealthProfessionsLab
