Heart Sounds Tutorial: this online program focuses on the four common valvar lesions in the left heart: |
|
|
|

|
|
aortic stenosis |
|
mitral regurgitation |
|

In this tutorial, you will be able to examine actual patients with these lesions. By moving a virtual stethoscope over the chest, you can listen to the heart at several listening locations, while at the same time, you will see a video of the patient's pulsations in the neck, precordium, or extremities. The findings are explained with text, as well as illustrated with phonocardiograms, hemodynamic data, and computer animations. |
