Heart Sounds and Murmurs: A Practical Guide with Audiotape

This outstanding clinical reference defines the concepts needed by a practitioner who is learning or reviewing cardiac auscultation. The audiotape and accompanying booklet explain how to identify and interpret normal andcommon abnormal heart sounds. Most heart sounds are reproduced on a heart sound simulator which isolates the heart sound being examined. Other heart sounds are recorded from real patients to distinguish between similar heart and lung sounds. Validation of self-learning is made possible by answering the questions and listening to the "unknown" heart sounds at the end of the chapter.* This valuable book/audiotape (or book/CD) package explains how to identify and interpret normal and abnormal heart sounds * Presents clearly reproduced heart and extracardiac sounds, with no adventitious sounds present * NEW! Includes adult cardiovascular surgical patient heart sounds, extracardiac sounds from pacemakers, and more
