Master the ECG using our comprehensive ebook and accompanying video lectures, ECG tests, which covers all topics, from basic cardiac electrophysiology to advanced ECG interpretation and clinical management. It is suitable for anyone interested in ECG interpretation, e.g physicians, assistant physicians, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, biomedical analysts, students, and researchers. The Clinical Echocardiography ebook enables you to use echocardiography to its fullest potential in your initial diagnosis, decision making, and clinical management of patients with a wide range of heart diseases.

The purpose of ecgwaves.com is to fill an important gap in ECG education. Because most clinicians and students experience ECG interpretation as complicated, they often turn to books that present it as something simple. Such books tend to oversimplify the concepts, leaving out important clinical aspects, necessary discussions on differential diagnoses and clinical management. The purpose of ecgwaves.com is to provide an e-book that covers every aspect of clinical ECG interpretation, from pathophysiology to evidence based clinical management.
The ECG book is very detailed, yet easy to understand. Every chapter and topic is built up gradually, so that students and beginners are able to comprehend with ease. Details are provided successively, so that even the most experienced clinician (including cardiologists and electrophysiologists) will find it useful. Our users include the whole spectrum of health care personnel, including students, physicians, PAs, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, BMAs, researchers etc.
