I think it would be difficult to improve the book, in that it does well what it sets out to do.
Dr. Paul Wotton BVSc, PhD, DVC, MRCVS

I have to say I love this book! It manages to simplify the basics of electrocardiography with clear diagrams and concise writing.

Overall I think this is a great book for GPs and keeping it simple is key.
