GREAT PRACTICE
I've worked with Dr. Amal Mattu in the ER here at University of Maryland, and let me tell you his EKG rounds are always excellent learning experiences be they at 2AM or noon. The same can be said of the book. As a resident in Internal Medicine I always want to look at more EKGs and this book is aimed at the professional who wants to see good examples of the common EKG findings, and also the rarer ...

BMJ Books, 2007

Excellent
For such a short book, this is surprisingly full of imformation. One of the best emergency medicine books I have ever seen. I would consider this a must have for any practicing EM specialist. This book covers a majority of the very high risk cases that we see. The best part is continual coverage of hazards in over reliance on so called "classic symptoms." Just the other day, I had a neurologist ...

Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine
This text should have been written before I was a medical student - several of my attendings were lacking in any instruction or leadership qualities, other than just being great individuals. They needed this background, as did I, when teaching medical students. Specifically, the use of computer/internet sources is a great chapter.

ECGs for the Emergency Physician 2

Amal Mattu, William J. Brady

BMJ Books, 2008

Excellent Book!
This is the perfect follow-up to Mattu and Brady's first EKG book, and a must read for those who really want to fine-tune their EKG skills. As with the first volume, this one contains hundreds of unknown EKG's and a one-line clinical vignette. Once you have made your reading, you check the correct answer at the end of the section, which also includes teaching points. Neither of these books ...
