Pediatric Heart Sounds - Site License

The majority of children have a heart murmur if you listen well enough. Although innocent heart murmurs pose little to no risk for the patient, others heart murmurs, most often caused by defective heart valves, pose a significant risk. Furthermore, differing between patients who might have a significant cardiac pathology versus an innocent murmur requires both technical and cognitive skill. This application/website will instruct you using a programmed, organized approach to auscultation that should build your confidence.

These sound recordings were directly obtained from patients utilizing a stethoscope, amplifier and digital recording device. These recordings closely mimic the sounds heard during a normal cardiac examination, including sounds made by patient movement and respiration. This will closely simulate a real life situation. We hope your educational experience is rewarding.
