by Elspeth M. Brown, Anthony P. Salmon, William Collis

A practical and simple guide to the art of cardiac auscultation which teaches the reader how to identify a pathological heart murmur. The book explains what heart sounds are and how to use a stethoscope. It covers all the standard adult and child murmurs and is organised by region. It includes all the text of the tutorials. The CD provides, in a series of tutorials, the chance to listen to and identify the range of heart sounds; while in the pathology section a listener can focus down on each individual component of the sound allowing them to discern the key features of each murmur.

This would be an excellent book for those wishing to specialize in Cardiology, and not those looking for basic knowledge regarding heart sounds like myself. The CD is a great addition though.
