(The examples you listen to without "The Patient" will give you only a vague idea of the quality of our heart sounds.)

The package includes the Book, Audio CD and  

"The Patient"             

Note: You will need a stethoscope and CD player

Heart Sounds CD, provides the audio portion of the same 42 real heart sounds that are shown in the book. The 42 heart sounds include:

   Normal Heart Sounds

   Abnormal S1 and S2

   S3, S4 and Pericardial Knock

   Abnormal Valve Opening

   Ejection Flow Murmurs

   Stenotic Flow Murmurs

   Hums

“The Patient” listening pad connects to your CD

player and transfers heart sounds from the CD player to the pad.  Simply place your stethoscope on the Patient to hear the heart sounds.  Up to 10 additional Patients can be linked to each other for group sessions.

The Auscultation Training Kit, can be set up easily and consists of:

Clinical Auscultation of the Cardiovascular System by W. Proctor Harvey, M.D., and David C. Canfield

An invaluable study guide,  Clinical Auscultation of the Cardiovascular System combines high quality live recordings of heart sounds, analysis by Proctor Harvey,  effective printed study guides, and review quizzes, all of which combine to make the study of clinical auscultation clear and accurate.

The set consists of ten CD's on which Proctor Harvey narrates the pertinent findings on auscultation of more than 268 actual patients (not simulated).

 Companion texts supplement each tape -- a total of 224 pages. Housed in an attractive vinyl binder, Clinical Auscultation of the Cardiovascular System represents 40 years of Proctor Harvey’s accumulated patient recordings. Nowhere will you find anything comparable in cardiology

Cardiac Pearls 

by W. Proctor Harvey, MD

Packed with Proctor Harvey’s lifetime collection of pearls of practical wisdom, Cardiac Pearls is a clinical masterpiece filled with invaluable insights which you can apply to your next patient.

Increasingly in the changing healthcare environment, the need for good clinical judgment -- as opposed to utilization of tests -- is becoming more important, and Proctor Harvey’s book certainly helps physicians in this regard.

The work is especially timely with the current emphasis on physical diagnosis. It is heavily illustrated with photographs and drawings. Proctor Harvey has written in a relaxed, organized style that enables you to pick it up for a five-minute mini-lesson.

The Physiological Origins of Heart Sounds & Murmurs The first and only comprehensive multimedia reference for cardiac auscultation. This program contains 135 examples that integrate heart
sounds and murmurs with animations and dynamic laboratory data, including ECG, phonocardiogram, pulse, intracardiac pressures, echocardiogram, and cineangiography. Topics include normal, valvar
lesions, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myxoma. New and improved for Windows 2000 and XP.

This introductory program provides training on how to establish bedside findings through inspection, palpation and auscultation. It is appropriate for any level of training. Actual patient videos with simultaneous heart sound recordings provide highly realistic training, with examples of normal and abnormal findings. Computer animations illustrate anatomy, hemodynamics, phonocardiogram, as well as the motion of the cardiac chambers and valves. The program includes three modules: cardiac examination, peripheral vascular examination, and blood pressure measurement. Ideal for instructor-led tutorial or self-guided study.

Guided tutorials on examining ten patient “unknowns.” The student or trainee receives immediate feedback when answering questions that
lead toward establishing the physical findings and differential diagnosis. Each patient presentation contains pertinent history, video of neck and precordium with simultaneous heart sounds recorded over multiple listening locations. Includes case-matched ECG, CXR, and echocardiogram. Discussion follows, explaining the results of the
laboratory studies, including cath lab hemodynamics where appropriate, and their correlation to the physical findings. Ideal for instructor-led tutorial or self-guided study.

Full-featured case-matched patient presentations of the most common valvar lesions of the left heart. These virtual patient examinations (VPEs) are designed to run with the desktop Pulsator™, allowing simultaneous inspection of the patient, palpation of the pulse, and auscultation of the heart findings. Each case includes chief complaint, patient’s history, recordings of patient’s pulses as a timing reference, actual heart sounds and/or murmurs and diagnostic studies (CXR, echocardiogram, cineangiogram). Stunning high-resolution digital patient videos with simultaneous heart sound recordings over several listening areas. Case-matched 12-lead ECG, CXR, echocardiogram, as well as cineangiogram. Ideal for classroom presentation, morning report, or conferences. The cases can also be used as an assessment tool by the instructor.
