The book expands on the CD content and offers clear, concise illustrations of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and polarcardiograms (PCGs). It also includes pretests and posttests to ensure thorough understanding of the material, as well as content on properties of sound, the stethoscope, and keys to successful auscultation. * NEW! Lung sounds are now included, in addition to heart sounds. * An easy-to-follow format simplifies learning. * Pretests may be taken prior to reviewing the CD to measure how much the user already knows. * Posttests help determine when the material has been mastered. * Clinically relevant conditions are included, making it easy for readers to apply this information to day-to-day practice.
