Cardiology

Cardiology

Cardiology in general, with emphasis in auscultation.

Dr. Bonagura's auscultation papers Invaluable resource for learning small animal cardiac auscultation

HCM Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy info

Human cardiology and auscultation (Useful for veterinary purposes as well)

Auscultation assistant (Human) Features various sample cardiac sounds

Blaufuss Cardiology multi-media tutorial (Human) Features a tutorial and useful (but hard!) proficiency quiz using cardiac sound files. Excellent animation.

Cardiac Auscultation - Loma Linda University (Human) Very nice animation of how heart works, with sounds

Cardiac Auscultatory Recording Database -- Johns Hopkins University (Human) On-line training program with a vast collection of (human) heart sounds for learning ausculation. (ID and password required)

Heart Diseases -- Rush Children's Heart Center Concisely explains many congenital and other cardiac pathologies (in children and animals alike), including PDA, tetoralogy of Fallot, VSD, cardiomyopathies.

Heart Diseases -- info for medical professionals (Rush Children's Heart Center)

A guide to arrythmias -- St.Vincent's Hospital (Human) Animations show paths of cardiac electrical pulses

Human cardiac auscultation demonstration (Human) A movie clip -- instructive, but keep in mind that auscultation areas are different for cats/dogs than for humans. (Also, they don't purr or wiggle out of your hold or have thick fur, so I think it's much easier doing it on people.) [No longer accessible? 12/03]

Auscultation - McGill University (Human) Sound files -- both cardiac and pulmonary auscultations. (It used to be here.)
