簡介(Book Description from Google)：
As a learning tool, Pediatric Heart Sounds offers a unique interactive overview of cardiac auscultation. The CD-ROM is the only one to integrate high-fidelity, digitally recorded pediatric heart sounds with a graphic patient chest interface, while the book provides a review of the mechanisms behind the individual heart sounds. Using the CD-ROM, readers can āplaceā the stethoscope at the four chest locations most commonly auscultated and to hear the corresponding sounds, thus simulating an actual examination. Pediatric Heart Sounds provides an additional learning tool for medical students and practitioners in preparation for future study or for integration into practical work experience with pediatric patients.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Excellent tool for medical students and residents on cardiology rotations
This book is an excellent resource for both medical students and residents on their cardiology rotations. The accompanying CD contains a recorded heart sounds tutorial, with respiration over the heart sounds, and is more realistic and lifelike than others of its kind. There is a quiz on the CD so that you can test your listening skills following the tutorial. The book and CD together teach you how to listen to the heart in a methodical way and to listen for each sound separately instead of immediately jumping to a conclusion about the diagnosis. You learn how to listen for S1 then S2, then extra heart sounds, then murmurs, etc. Then you put it all together and come up with a diagnosis. The book and CD do an excellent job teaching how to differentiate between normal innocent murmurs and pathologic murmurs. Overall I think students, residents, residency programs and medical schools should have this resource available and use it prior to and during the cardiology rotation for improved learning.

Invaluable teaching tool
An excellent tool for improving auscultation skills. The dissection method forces you to pay attention to all the components of the cardiac cycle to make a better diagnosis. Also, the accompanying CD has real life recordings and is very interactive.

Useful for anyone who will listen to the heart of a child
The audiofiles that accompany this book are outstanding. They are real recordings and highlight the specific aspects of the cardiac exam that carry additional importance in the world of pediatrics...where not all plumbing is as expected. Outstanding reference for anyone who places a stethoscope over the heart of a child.
