Cardiac Auscultation is now available as a free download (windows only). With Cardiac Auscultation, students can spend as much time as they need with the "patient", listening to heart sounds again and again until they are able to identify cardiac abnormalities readily. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86289 Students apply a solution to the heart by clicking the button "Add Solution" (agonists and antagonists). They can note any changes in vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, EKG). Then they "rinse" the heart with Saline and try another solution. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88697 This is a comprehensive ECG library. The site includes facts, definitions, examples, case studies of multiple ECG readings. This is an excellent resource for students studying nursing and medicine at all levels. It is also a good review site for practitioners that want to improve their ECG reading skills. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84360 The Pump Pump Pumps Your Blood song explains how the human heart works - how the heart routes Blood through the human body! It was first heard on episode #142 of Happy Days sitcom TV show, "Potsie Quits School" and is known as the Potsie's Pump Your Blood song!

When you click on an arrhythmia, the key characteristics show up in a text box. The site includes links to other cardiac tutorials. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84990 Provides an overview of the cardiac anatomy & physiology, and electrocardiology.
