Where to study EKGs from?

[mqa]

Hello All,

Does anyone know a good source whether internet and/or some book where one can learn to interpret ECGs from? It would be helpful if it's a source that makes it easy to learn and understand and not take too much time. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

if you want to have a good grasp on EKG, read Rapid Interpretation of EKG's by Dale Dubin. if not try this site: Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) library (http://www.ecglibrary.com/ecghome.html?)

You dont really need to know EKG's for step I, but to learn them in general, start with the dubin book and then follow it up with a practical guide to EKG interpretation. I am not exactly sure of the title of the second book since I read it 2 years ago, but its a book by John Hopkins press which should narrow it down.

After that, look at every EKG that comes your way and make either upper class residents or attendings go over it with you.
