Student's Guide (8 ed)

This text defines the concepts needed to learn or review cardiac auscultation.

The combination of audio and text explains how to identify and interpret normal and common abnormal heart sounds.

Some heart sounds are reproduced on a heart sound simulator, allowing for a clear, crisp grasp of specific, individual sounds.

Others are recorded from real patients to distinguish between similar heart and lung sounds, and to help the listener select the heart sounds from the auditory milieu.
