Virtual Cardiac Patient

Virtual Cardiac Patient is much more than a course about heart sounds. It's an dynamic, interactive learning tool. Students are presented with 28 heart sound lessons. For each lesson the student can:
  • Listen
  • Observe the phonocardiogram
  • Enable or disable an EKG
  • Enable or disable a pressure tracing
  • Use Cardiac Help to read descriptions of the sound and abnormality
  • Observe a cardiac animation depicting the underlying physiology
  • Freeze the dynamic waveforms for study of sound details
  • Use the Interval Control to add/remove heart sound components
  • Validate comprehension using the integrated Quiz
The Virtual Cardiac Patient User's Guide is available here
