Resources for Cardiology/Clinical Path course

The Media Library in Piscataway has a number of resources that students can use for the study of cardiology in the Clinical Pathophysiology course. Many of these provide auditory heart sounds, graphics and animation:
Heart Sounds: Basic Cardiac Auscultation- CD ROM accompanies Bates Guide to Physical Examination (8th ed.)

Clinical Cardiology Made Ridiculously Simple: Heart Sounds and Images (book and CD)

**Listening for the Sounds of Heart Failure: Recognizing Basic Murmurs (vol.1, no.1) CD
**Recognizing Extra Heart Sounds (vol. 1, no. 2) CD
(these are designed to increase and sharpen your cardiac auscultation skills by the use of auditory recognition exercises)

Wilkins Fundamentals of Lung and Heart Sounds with CD-ROM (booklet and CD)

Interactive Electrocardiography ECG-CD based on Stephen Scheidt's book--uses illustrations, animation and graphics; has patient tracings and practice tests.
In addition to textbooks (The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need and Rapid Interpretation of EKGs), we have copies of a booklet of sample EKGs that can be borrowed overnight.
