Rapid Interpretation of Heart and Lung Sounds: A Guide to Cardiac and Respiratory Auscultation in Dogs and Cats 3rd Edition

Your Comprehensive Guide to Canine and Feline Cardiopulmonary Evaluation

This package, composed of a website and a companion book, demonstrates how to perform accurate clinical evaluations of the heart and lungs in the examining room. The website offers step-by-step instructions on how to identify, interpret, and differentiate heart and lung sounds in dogs and cats.

Key Features

• Heart Sound Simulator: A heart sound simulator, made by using recordings from patients, allows you to focus on the heart sounds without the distraction of respiratory sounds or artifacts of hair rubbing against the stethoscope.
• Comprehensive Learning: The book expands on the website content and offers clear, concise illustrations of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and polarcardiograms (PCGs). It also includes pretests and post-tests to ensure a thorough understanding of the material.
• Real-World Cases: A wide variety of heart and lung sounds provides you with real-life cases that are as close to clinical practice as possible.
• Mastery and Remediation: Pretests may be taken prior to reviewing the book and website to measure what you already know. Posttests help determine when the material has been mastered and direct you to remediation in areas where additional study is needed.
• New and Expanded Content: Lung sounds have been added, there are many more heart sounds, and the section on murmurs and arrhythmia has been expanded.
• Key Points: Key points called out within the text alert you to potential problems, variations on techniques, and other treatment considerations.
