Description

Introduction to Cardiovascular Examination teaches students the anatomy and physiology of the heart, normal and abnormal heart sounds, and how to auscultate the heart. This program makes extensive use of high quality video animation of the heart to explain its physiology and to present a visual explanation for normal and abnormal heart sounds.

This program offers learners the unique opportunity to view a practitioner auscultating a patient's chest, hear the actual heart sounds and view dynamic images of a variety of cardiovascular conditions. Learners can view a cardiovascular procedure during the video program.

Students will learn how to:

  • Identify major anatomical structures of the heart
  • Trace the path of blood flow through the heart and great vessels during the cardiac cycle
  • Describe systole and diastole
  • Explain the relationship of heart sounds to events of the cardiac cycle
  • Describe the correct procedure for cardiac auscultation
  • Describe normal sounds heard in each auscultatory area
  • Use correct procedures for identifying extra heart sounds and murmurs
