"I think this book will be a wonderful addition to the texts that are already available, with a fresh perspective!"

“This book integrates academic ECG principles with real-world clinical practice by incorporation of well chosen cath lab case studies into its curriculum.  This combination lets readers see patients and their ECGs through the eyes of an experienced cath lab Interventionalist, and provides a balanced approach to patient evaluation that compensates for the ECGs inherent lack of sensitivity and specificity. I highly recommend this book for all Emergency Medicine and Cardiology Fellows. For experienced clinicians, it’s a superb review.”

Humberto Coto, MD, FACP, FACC -- Chief of Interventional Cardiology, St. Joseph's Hospital, Tampa, Florida

“Sir William Osler, Physician-in-Chief and Professor of Medicine for Johns Hopkins Hospital proclaimed,  ‘He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.’   His wisdom, expressed nearly a century ago, could not ring truer in today’s practice of medicine.   An effective tool for educating today’s physicians is the employment of case studies which combine both elements of Sir Osler’s quote: academic literature and practical experience.    This textbook provides both, and I highly recommend it for all residents and fellows in emergency medicine and cardiology.”  

Matthew Glover, MD, FACP, FACC -- Interventional Cardiologist,  St. Joseph's Hospital, Tampa, Florida  

"This outstanding book follows the patient from the field (EMS) to the ER to the cath lab, one of the few of it's kind . Use of Cath Lab Case Studies provides a new and valuable perspective to learning 12 Lead ECG interpretation.  I strongly recommend it for all health care providers who deal with cardiac patients."

"ECG's are one of the few sophisticated diagnostic tests widely available to paramedics.  This book arms paramedics with the tools to make the accurate and sophisticated assessments which are the foundation of exceptional patient care."
