HEART SOUND AND CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA



blaufuss.org
Heart Sounds Tutorial:
This online program focuses on the four common valvar lesions in the left heart: aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and mitral stenosis. Actual patients illustrate the physical findings associated valvar disease. You can listen to the patient's heart at several listening locations, while at the same time you can see video of pulsations in the neck, precordium, or extremities. The findings are explained with text, as well as illustrated with phonocardiograms, hemodynamic data, and computer animations.


This interactive quiz will test your ability to identify correctly the first and second heart sounds, extra sounds, diastolic and
systolic murmurs in recordings of actual patients, using a computer animation of the carotid pulse for timing.


High- and low-frequency sounds illustrated:

This brief program demonstrates the difference between events that cause low frequency sounds (e.g., a third heart sound)
and events that cause high frequency sounds (e.g., an ejection click).

Physiological splitting of the second heart sound:

This animation of the thorax shows normal changes in S2 with inspiration.




This online program allows analysis of 12-lead ECGs with calipers, plumb line, and interactive ladder diagram.
Interpretations for the example ECGs can be found here., with a detailed explanation here (6MB PDF).
Frontal Axis Demo:

This program demonstrates changes in the frontal surface leads with shifts in the cardiac axis.
SVT Tutorial:


This online program uses computer animations to explain.arrhythmia mechanisms and their associated electrocardiographic findings for the following examples: AV node reentry, AV reentry, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation.

world's largest medical library


The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), operated by the United States federal government, is the world's largest medical library.[1] The collections of the National Library of Medicine include more than seven million books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and images on medicine and related sciences including some of the world's oldest and rarest works.




Since 1879, the NLM has published the Index Medicus, a monthly guide to articles in nearly five thousand selected journals. The last issue of Index Medicus was printed in December 2004, but this information is offered in the freely accessible PubMed amongst the more than fifteen million MEDLINE journal article references and abstracts going back to the 1960s and 1.5 million references going back to the 1950s.

The NLM also runs the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which houses biological databases freely accessible over the Internet through the Entrez search engine and PubMed.

The Toxicology and Environmental Health Program (TEHIP), established at the NLM in 1967, is charged with developing computer databases compiled from the medical literature and from the files of governmental and nongovernmental organizations.[2] TEHIP has implemented several information systems for chemical emergency response and public education, such as the Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET), TOXMAP, Tox Town, Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER), Toxmystery, and the Household Products Database. These resources are accessible without charge on the Web.

The Extramural Division provides grants to support research in medical information science and to support planning and development of computer and communications systems in medical institutions. Research, publications, and exhibitions on the history of medicine and the life sciences are also supported by the History of Medicine Division. In April 2008 the current exhibition Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health was launched.
