The main objective of this book is to provide a visual tool that will help physicians and other emergency care providers quickly recognize important ECG patterns. By the end of the book, the reader will have developed a mental repertoire of ECGs that represent medically significant conditions, including some that are potentially fatal. We hope that our illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations help to demystify ECG interpretation.

This book is intentionally graphic and nontechnical. It is designed to help clinicians make visual diagnoses by pointing out abnormalities in a colorful and pictorial fashion.

The second edition of this book maintains the same format of the book. An ECG is first shown in its native state to give the reader a chance to recognize and interpret salient features. Abnormal patterns are enlarged, highlighted in color, and described in brief text on the following page. We have added ECGs that we have collected over recent years and chosen to include those that emphasized critical pathologies including hyperkalemia, coronary occlusion, and massive pulmonary embolism. In the ischemia chapter, we decided to include ECGs with more subtle signs of coronary occlusion. The second edition is accompanied by access to an online appendix that presents ECG abnormalities in random order. We hope this will allow our readers to practice and consolidate their learning.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed electrocardiograms to this collection.
