Someone mentioned to me the other day that the Library needed some more items on heart sounds and murmurs. True, we do! However, even if I order some books and audios today, they will take time to arrive, so in the meantime here are some online links you might find useful.
The Auscultation Assistant provides heart sounds, heart murmurs, and breath sounds in order to help medical students and others improve their physical diagnosis skills. Since its creation in 1997, it has logged over 175,000 visits.
An extensive site but be aware that you need to load Quicktime to hear the sounds.
A useful site with exam techniques, differential dx, and a range of sounds (the link above will take you there directly) in mp3 form that you can listen to with any media player.
"This collection of heart sounds and murmurs is available for personal use to listen to online or download onto a personal player device. Each sound is labeled with a self-explanatory file name and is available in both PC (mp3) and MAC (mp4) format."
Has an extensive description of sounds and links to audio files (some of those above).
Any suggestions for useful additions will be gratefully received.
