Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

Module overview

Complete the three stages in order.

  1. Stage 1: Reference

    Bates' Visual Guide videos on the cardiac exam. Each opens in a new tab. Requires the Northwestern VPN.

  2. Stage 2: Manikin practice

    Practice the cardiac exam on a body diagram.

  3. Stage 3: Cases

    Each case gives a short history and two possible diagnoses. Choose the exam techniques that tell them apart, then review the findings.

Optional

Heart sound drill

Identify heart sounds and murmurs by ear. Most useful after the cases.
