IN THE SPOTLIGHT

GET TO THE HEART OF CARDIAC AUSCULTATION AND PHONOCARDIOGRAPHY
Cardiac auscultation requires practice to gain proficiency. Find help on VIN with the FREE online version of Cardiac Auscultation and Phonocardiography.


The text and library of accompanying sound recordings will aid your interpretation of normal and abnormal heart sounds and PCGs and help with your everyday workup of cardiac cases.

Let's Get Pedantic!
We had a rep for one company do a presentation at our clinic and he kept talking about dogs on "pregnisone". I couldn't even pay attention to the rest of his presentation because it bothered me so much.
