Presents approximately 70 heart sounds, murmurs, and lung sounds with accompanying echocardiograms, phonograms, phonetics, and patient positioning information. Two modes--instructional and testing--will benefit the novice and expert alike.
Improve your clinical acumen as you develop the listening skills to diagnose heart sounds and murmurs with confidence using MASTERING AUSCULTATION: An Audio tour to Cardiac Diagnosis. Master Teacher, T. Anthony Don Michael, M.D. showcases his patented ""cardiophonetic"" approach to recognize and recall 100 heart sounds and murmurs in this breakthrough, multimedia CD-ROM. You will hear actual heart sounds as they are listened to through the stethescope and reinforce your learning with a battery of clinical cases.
Remarkably easy-to-use, MASTERING AUSCULTATION let""s you review heart sounds and murmurs at your own pace in a tutorial mode, by clinical condition (heart failure, congenital heart disease, etc) or via clinical case studies that fully reinforce your diagnostic skills.
Hearing is believing! Match the actual heart sounds you hear at the bedside with those presented on MASTERING AUSCULTATION.
