Important information: The audio quality of the sounds played through a computer, tablet or smartphone device may not be a faithful representation of the actual sounds heard on auscultation. This is due to the acoustical performance of sound cards, their associated drivers, or the frequency response of the headphones or speakers used. Therefore there is a possibility that the user may not be able to fully hear all clinically relevant sounds.
Disclaimer: Whilst based on genuine patient histories, all patients represented in this educational package are fictitious and any similarity with persons past or present is purely coincidental. For educational purposes only.
