Heart Murmur Introduction
Then take the Normal Heart Sounds course and progress down the list of additional courses, at least through the Diastolic Murmurs course. Courses typically take 15-20 minutes. Our Auscultation in Primary Care followed by Basic Lung Sounds is another excellent learning pathway.
