5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic CD-ROM textbook combo for heart sounds, February 12, 2006

This review is from: Heart Sounds and Murmurs: A Practical Guide with Audio CD-ROM, 3e (CD-ROM)

Barbara Erikson's Heart Sounds and Murmurs, third edition, is an outstanding reference that defies the concepts needed by practitioners and students who are learning or reviewing cardiac auscultation. The audio-program - now in compact disc format - and accompanying booklet explain how to identify and interpret normal and common abnormal heart sounds. Validation of self-learning is made possible by listening to and identifying the "unknown" heart sounds at the end of each chapter.

Features:

Presents content written by a well respected author to ensure that information is current and clinically accurate.

Provides learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter to help students, reviewers, and teachers identify key concepts.

Includes and index, a detailed table of contents, a glossary, and a transcript of the audio program to facilitate ease of use and to aid learning.

Features figures and tables throughout the text that permit learners to visualize concepts and sounds.

New Features:

Includes varied heart sounds caused by mechanical valve replacement (prosthetic) devices that are currently available and in use in several countries.

Includes pacemaker and extracardiac sounds, including plural and cardiac friction rubs.

provides audio in compact disc format.
