Show Answer

Powered by EKGaction: EKGaction is much more than the usual textbook of EKG and is different from other online programs.  It teaches/reinforces EKG interpretation skills using a method that integrates clinical pearls that makes it easier to commit to memory.  These pearls accompany every case and are called Learning Points and Collateral Tracings.  The multiple indexes make it useful as a reference. It has been perfected over 15 years, teaching at leading cardiology fellowship programs.  It has been shown to improve performance on board exams and it’s fun to use!
