Pros and cons of Heart Murmurs Pro app for iPhone and iPad
Heart Murmurs Pro app good for
As a second year medical student, this is going to be a lifesaver. You can never have enough practice with this ind if thing and the explanations are great. Would recommend, and have, to everyone!
I find it easy to learn with clear audio of sounds Great learning tool .
Im a medical student and I found this app helpful for getting familiar with that different sounds. Would like to be able to compare the sounds directly with each other (I.e. on the same page. Otherwise, fantastic!
Clear, my favorite till now, even if not expensive!
Thank you!
Great app, thank you! Would be even better if i) could compare one murmur to the sound of another similar murmur (e.g., pericardial knock vs S3 gallop) directly back and forth, vs now you can only compare each murmur vs normal heart sounds. ii) Heart sounds were more realistic. They sound kind of synth-y, and the biggest challenge I have is translating what I hear on this app and similar online sites to what actual patient heart sounds sound like. Some better audio files would help a lot here. Thank you again!
I think it was updated cause when I downloaded it it didnt seem this good
Some bad moments
Listen to all the murmurs, then quiz yourself. Its a must have app for med students. Go gators!
I keep on my iPad an occasional review. Great app. I recommend to all! Sounds are accurate and the price is exceptional. Has awesome written info as well.
Gives excellent audio with visual aid to help learn tricky heart sounds. The visual aid helps the learner differentiate systolic from diastolic murmurs if the concepts the mechanical function of the heart and basic valve pathophysiology is understood.
Totally worth your $$$. Very useful, sounds are clear with the use of earphones. Great learning tool, for student and professionals alike.
Ive only had the app for a few days but I found it very helpful in preparing for my upcoming osce
Fantastic! Upgraded to the Pro version to get some extra practice. Its hard to find a good trainer for wards/exams, but this is one of them. Thank you!
