JNC-8 Guidelines for Hypertension treatment

Consumer reports has drug reports designed for consumers that are pretty well made.

• CR: Take the Right Medicines (2011)
• CR: Using ACE-inhibitors to treat High Blood Pressure and Heart Disease report (2011)

Here are reports to help you recommend home blood pressure monitors: The Omron 7 series was rated best in one test, and the Moron 10 series in the other test, so I\'m guessing Omron upper arm monitors might be a good recommendation.

Healio has been my favorite source for learning about murmurs and heart sounds.

EKG Interpretation

Build your EKG skills

Learn the basics of rhythm identification.

1. The Rapid Interpretation of EKG's

This is a comprehensive book of all the rhythms you need to know in PA school and clinical practice. At times it is a bit slow and basic; but, I\'m sure a review never hurt anyone. Contains everything from physiology explanations, the different pacemakers of the heart, pictures of EKG strips, explanations of arrhythmias, etc. This is the resource that I used in PA school. Click here to buy the cheaper 5th edition. The 6th edition costs significantly more, but the differences are minimal.

2.How to Read an EKG: Emory University

If you let this continue to play to the next video it is actually a series of 10 videos that through your journey of learning EKG's will be extremely helpful!

3. ECG Zone: Tutorials & Cases

These are case studies that help you learn how to interpret EKG's. This may be too much for someone before in class lectures. Definitely a great resource to have as you go along and learn!
