About Podrid's Real-World ECGs Series
Volume 5, Narrow and Wide Complex Tachyarrhythmias and Aberration
Volume 6, Paced Rhythms, Congenital Abnormalities, Electrolyte Disturbances, and More
Podrid's Real-World ECGs are case-based workbooks that offer students, instructors, health care professionals, and physicians an indispensable resource for developing and honing the technical skills and systematic approach needed to interpret ECGs with confidence. ECGs from real patient cases offer a complete and in-depth learning experience by focusing on fundamental electrophysiologic properties and clinical concepts as well as detailed discussion of important diagnostic findings and relevant management decisions. 8 comprehensive volumes (6 titles with 2 additional volumes of practice cases) encompass 648 individual case studies that include discussion about the important waveforms and clinical decision-making involved. From an introductory volume that outlines the approaches and tools utilized in the analysis of all ECGs to subsequent volumes covering particular disease entities for which the ECG is useful, readers will take away the in-depth knowledge needed to successfully interpret the spectrum of routine to challenging ECGs they will encounter in their own clinical practice.

Description
This is the first volume in a series that provides a self-study approach to interpreting electrocardiograms. Dr. Philip Podrid is an esteemed academic cardiologist and professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School. His coauthors, Dr. Rajeev Malhotra, Dr. Rahul Kakkar, and Dr. Peter Noseworthy, are cardiology fellows at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Purpose
This book covers the basics in the interpretation of electrocardiography.
Audience
It is suitable for medical students, advanced practice clinicians, physicians in training, internists, and cardiologists.
Features
The introduction explains the basics of how an electrocardiogram is done, and reviews normal waveforms, axis, and intervals. It also outlines a systematic process for reviewing an electrocardiogram. The second part of the book presents the "core ECGs," which include 90 example electrocardiograms, relevant clinical vignettes, and clinical questions. Each example is carefully explained on the following page along with relevant clinical recommendations and answers to the questions presented. Online access is also provided for additional cases for review.
Assessment
There are many review books for ECG interpretation, but few are as enjoyable to read and study as this one. It does an excellent job of presenting electrocardiograms, interesting clinical vignettes, and important clinical questions in a clean and concise format. The strength of this book is the systematic review of every example electrocardiogram.
