For over forty years the ecg made easy has been regarded as the best introductory guide to the ecg, with sales of over half a million copies as well as being translated into more than a dozen languages. Hailed by the british medical journal as a "medical classic", it has been a favourite of generations of medical and health care staff who require clear, basic knowledge about the ecg. This famous book encourages the reader to accept that the ecg is easy to understand and that its use is just a natural extension of taking the patient's history and performing a physical examination. It directs users of the electrocardiogram to straightforward and accurate identification of normal and abnormal ecg patterns.
