"Wherever one is within their medical training ... this book is an
effective companion aid for ECGs."
"This is an exceptional reference for providers and trainees of
multiple levels who are interested or involved in EKG
interpretation." Reviewed by Samy Abdelghani, MD (Oschner Clinic
Foundation) for Doody's Review Service
"The 9th Edition of Goldberger's Clinical Electrocardiography - A
Simplified Approach eloquently covers all aspects of ECGs, from
essential concepts to specialised topics. Wherever one is within
their medical training, whether as a medical student, trainee or
specialist, this book is an effective companion aid for ECGs. For
medical students, it provides an in-depth understanding of basic
concepts and then common abnormalities -brilliant preparation for
exams! For more experienced trainees, it is a perfect reference,
full of clinical examples, diagnoses and management tips.
Furthermore, it covers a vast range of specialist areas, ensuring
it is a valuable tool for even the most experienced cardiologist."

"The basic principles introduce standard ECG terminology,
measurements, and definitions with clarity and precision necessary
for initial knowledge accumulation; these chapters also include
some introductory perspective on spatial-vector principles that is
ultimately necessary for more intuitive understanding of the
ECG.... For both initial parts of the text, clinical
perspectives that include treatment options provide additional
practical orientation that also will benefit more experienced
electrocardiographers, so this is not just a book for introductory
students." Reviewed by Paul Kligfield, MD (Weil Cornell Medical
College) for Journal of Electrocardiology
