excellent tool for learning your heart sounds.
Pediatric Heart Sounds is a excellent resource for residents or medical student starting their cardiology rotation as it teaches you how to listen and differentiate the heart sounds and murmur in a very organized and systematic fashion.The book is a combination of text and a CDROM which uses real heart sounds and thus is very understandable. It will make you very comfortable doing a cardiac exam and differentiating normal and pathologic heart sound. I highly recommend this easy to read and interactive book for all the residents and medical students.

Excellent way to learn or review heart sounds!!
Pediatric Heart Sounds is an excellent book for medical students, residents or primary care physicians to learn how to listen to the heart in a systematic manner. The book is easy to read and explains each heart sound and what can cause each to sound different. Following this book's approach and listening to the recordings on the CD will help one to develop confidence in explaining and understanding the heart exam. I read the hardback, but it would be very readable on a Kindle as long as you also listen to the CD. Pediatric Heart Sounds

Invaluable teaching tool
An excellent tool for improving auscultation skills. The dissection method forces you to pay attention to all the components of the cardiac cycle to make a better diagnosis. Also, the accompanying CD has real life recordings and is very interactive.

Useful for anyone who will listen to the heart of a child
The audiofiles that accompany this book are outstanding. They are real recordings and highlight the specific aspects of the cardiac exam that carry additional importance in the world of pediatrics...where not all plumbing is as expected. Outstanding reference for anyone who places a stethoscope over the heart of a child.

Awesome Source for Learning Heart Sounds
This is definitely the best book I have read to learn about pediatric heart sounds. The combination of the text and the CD-ROM, which used "real" heart sounds, made the subject matter very understandable and practical for clinical use. I recommend this book for all medical students, pediatricians, nurses, physician's assistances, and anyone in the medical field performing a pediatric cardiac evaluation. The book details the various sounds heard during a cardiac exam and after completing, I believe you are better equipped for assessing pathologic and non-pathologic murmurs. Additionally, you will be more comfortable with the cardiac exam, which is a constant struggle for most practitioners who have not specialized in pediatric cardiology. I highly recommend this book because it is an AWESOME resource for anyone needing a straightforward, easy-read resource for learning about Pediatric Heart Sounds.
