Students are provided with instruction on the use of a stethoscope and then given the opportunity to auscultate and determine the significance of normal and abnormal heart sounds and murmurs. Recognize abnormal heart sounds and murmurs. Describe basic electrocardiography and how the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram is constructed.
Feedback is immediately available at each point as the student is guided through each lesson.
By the end of the lessons the student will have worked out the physical signs, symptoms and the results of simple investigations required when faced with such clinical problems in practice. Heart sounds and murmurs are presented when the student touches a simulated body on the screen. These along with X-rays, E.C.G.'s and other visuals are available.
