THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF
ECG SECRECTS
15 facts nobody ever told you about the ECG:
The truth about ventricular hypertrophy
How to master myocardial infarction using these simple tricks
Are you making these mistakes when reading the ECG?
... And much, much more
Dear Future ECG Rock Star,
In this book, you will find several ECG cases taken from our award-winning online ECG
Mastery course. If you are completely new to the ECG, you might not be able to answer
these questions right now. However, after going through the ECG Mastery program,
youll be able to diagnose all of them after just a couple of training sessions.
Do you know the most effective way to learn the ECG? Its having a teacher and mentor
with lots of years of experience stand next to you and explain an actual ECG case with
pen and paper. If you have access to such a mentorgreat, youve nailed it!
But what if you dont have access to this mentor? What if you have to learn the ECG on
your own? Well, then the ECG Mastery program could be your solution. In our program,
we are using hundreds of hand-picked, real-world teaching cases that will help you understand whats really important about the ECG.
Each chapter in our program works like this: after teaching you the necessary basics,
youll go through a couple of cases and try to solve them on your own. Then youll watch
an expert with decades of experience solve the case. Its almost as if the expert were
standing next to you, scribbling on the ECG. Its as close as it gets to a real-life mentor.
From this booklet, youll get an idea of this teaching approach. Learning the ECG is
like learning to ride a bicycle. Once you master it, you wont forget it. Understanding
instead of memorizingthats our teaching mantra. If you want to find out more about
our course or sign up for a free trial account to get access to even more, interesting
cases, please visit www.medmastery.com
We wish you a great learning experience!
Yours,
Franz Wiesbauer & the Medmastery team
