From the reviews:
'Whether you are learning, reviewing or teaching pediatric cardiac auscultation, you need to take a good look (and listen to) Pediatric Heart Sounds ' . The CD, which accompanies the text, is absolutely fantastic! ' it contains well-written chapters in the book and excellent audios on the CD ' . I recommend this new book and CD very highly. It is a valuable educational tool.' (John W. Moore, Congenital Cardiology Today, January, 2009)
Synopsis
As a learning tool, Pediatric Heart Sounds offers a unique interactive overview of cardiac auscultation. The CD-ROM is the only one to integrate high-fidelity, digitally recorded pediatric heart sounds with a graphic patient chest interface, while the book provides a review of the mechanisms behind the individual heart sounds. Using the CD-ROM, readers can 'place' the stethoscope at the four chest locations most commonly auscultated and to hear the corresponding sounds, thus simulating an actual examination. Pediatric Heart Sounds provides an additional learning tool for medical students and practitioners in preparation for future study or for integration into practical work experience with pediatric patients.
Synopsis
Pediatric Heart Soundsoffers in-depth tutorials of specific pediatric heart sounds and a diagnosis of those sounds. A self-assessment option helps the viewer to recognize the audio features of a heart condition as well as how to analyze logically and 'dissect" the murmur to improve identification. While the CD contains the multimedia material, the book is designed to provide explanation of the mechanisms involved.
