I was having trouble keeping all of the rhythms clear in my head. This app is well organized and clear. Nicely explains the "why" for each rhythm. I was always confused about what I should do if I saw a particular rhythm but this app answers that (or at least points me in the right direction). Who this app is for: people who need to learn ecg rhythms. Also has ACLS algorithms and covers the basics for reading and ecg. Critique: the treatment for the rhythms are vague. For example, SVT treatment is listed in the app as beta blockers, calcium channel blocker's, etc. it really doesn't cover things like vagal maneuvers that can be done, giving adenosine and at what dose, or what to do with the difference between a narrow QRS SVT versus a wide QRS SVT (procainamide). I would give 5 stars if the treatment section went into more depth. It does have a drug section but I feel like it's in the wrong place, ie it should be with the treatment section for each arrhythmia. Having said that, still an awesome app.
