A Simplified Introduction to Heart & Lung Sounds

Stethographics has produced a new educational CD-ROM with shipments beginning on December 10th. This multimedia course builds on our successful Learning Lung Sounds software. For this new CD-ROM, we are adding an introductory course on heart sounds which reviews the normal and abnormal heart sounds, mechanisms of murmur production, their locations and their clinical associations. This new CD-ROM is intended for everyone interested in clinical medicine, particularly students, interns, residents, practitioners, nurses and physician assistants.

Andromed, the largest manufacturer of electronic stethoscopes, will be bundling this CD-ROM with their newly released Androscope electronic stethoscope. Look for more about this exciting new stethoscope by mid-December on our web site.

Dr Ray Murphy presented two Posters at Chest 2002 this month. These papers, as well as posters from conferences in the past year, are available for download at the Stethographics web site. Go to www.stethographics.com and navigate to the physiology section.

In addition, during Chest 2002 and the Scientific Conference of the American Heart Association, Stethographics participated in the exhibit hall, in the Andromed booth. Our demonstrations included use of STG software with Andromed’s innovative electronic stethoscope.
