Description: This book 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.
