Murmurs

The origin of heart murmurs in the human body is generally well-known to medical professionals. These abnormalities of cardiac sound result from birth defects, small injuries that inadvertently create leaks in the hearts or years of poor diet that result in a narrowing of the heart valves. A young doctor needs to determine the origins of heart murmurs in a patient in order to determine the severity of the abnormality.

Cardionics is a medical electronics company that creates instructional simulators and manikins to diagnose heart problems like murmurs. This supplier's inventory includes electronic stethoscopes, manikins, simulators and other tools that help students learn the vagaries of heart sounds and murmurs. Instructors can determine the progress of each student in their class using the SimulScope Bedside Auscultation System.

Equipment from Cardionics Helps You Examine Heart Murmurs

The SimulScope is an electronic stethoscope system that utilizes a wireless, infrared transmitter to broadcast heart or lung sounds throughout a room. A series comprehensive filters allows every student to hear heart sounds and murmurs simultaneously. By using the discrete filters, sounds and murmurs can be accentuated so as to hear them more clearly. Students and the Instructor hear sounds and murmurs simultaneously making it an ideal for system classroom or bedside use. The SimulScope includes six HeartMan Infrared Headphones, but more can be added up to about 25.

You can use the SimulScope at any place or any time with its portable power source and wireless connectivity. This auscultation system operates on both battery and line power. You can also create a visual representation (phonocardiogram) of heart sounds and murmurs with the StethView Digital Recording System on a PC by synchronizing it wirelessly with the SimulScope.
