Basic Arrhythmias (6th Edition)

Newly revised edition of a BEST-SELLING EKG book! Revised and updated to include topics such as the use of pacemakers. A FREE in-book CD will give users an opportunity to practice in an interactive and fun environment. Appropriate for any student or practicing health care provider who needs to learn or review basic EKG or arrhythmia concepts.

Now, as an EMT instructor, I recommend "Basic Arrhythmias" to my students and I am confident that they will find peace of mind in learning EKG's, just as I did.

Thank you Gail Walraven.

I teach a Basic EKG Course in staff development and I highly recommend this book for all levels of health care providers from unit coordinators to nurse managers. The arrythmia practice strips are excellent and having the correct answers in the back of the book allows the adult learner to verify their interpertations or seek further learning in an area. The explaination of a difficult subject is made easy. I have used this book for several years and look forward to the new editions to see what else Gail Walraven has included.

I learned disrhythmia interpretation in a weekend with the help of this book, and still pull the book off the shelf ten years later to brush up on my skills. I recommend this book for anyone needing to learn and understand how to read a cardiac monitor.


Great book for the beginners in the field.   February 3, 1999

This is a great book. I had no problem understanding arrhythmias after I read it cover to cover. I ace'd all my test.

I have to say that this is the best college text book I have ever used. Clear, concise explanations of semi-complicated topics. I could not ask any more out of a book, except maybe lowering the price.
