This unique new software takes cardiac auscultatory education to another level. It's the first audio-visual learning software based on real patients. Recorded heart sounds are synchronised with video sequences from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), these MRI images facilitate realistic anatomic orientation. In all 30 cases a full set of auscultatory areas are available. For an authentic auscultation experience you can switch between bell and diaphragm mode. This interactive programme provides a realistic tool to assist in the teaching of cardiac auscultation.

This software is available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
