Book Description
Heart Sound and Murmurs, 3e is a clinical reference that defines the concepts needed by a practitioner who is learning or reviewing cardiac auscultattion. Heart Sounds and Murmurs explains how to identify and interpret normal and common abnormal heart sounds. All heart sounds are reproduced on a heart sound simulator which isolates the heart sound being examined.
