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.
