Cardiovascular System- Auscultation

Auscultation is an essential part of a cardiac examination.  Listening to the heart you can gather information about the rate and rhythm, value functioning (e.g. stenosis, regurgitation/insufficiency), and anatomical defects (e.g. atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defect (VSD), hypertrophy). The simulated virtual activity allows the user to listen each auscultation by playing the respective audio.
