Thank you so much for having an actual person demonstrates this with you. It made things much clearer for me personally. Big thanks to him for participating.

This is hands down the best lecture about these I’ve seen online

[hummadam]

Such a beautiful concise logical explanation with great visual representation of the heart sounds.
Makes the concept much easier to understand in just one sitting.
Really well thought out & only wish this was available earlier as a struggling student. Thanks so much!

Lecturio has to be the best thing I’ve ever spent money on. I study it everyday for hours and I can’t begin to explain how much I have learned and have already prepped for med school years in advance

Well done! Very informative once I got past the visual distraction 😍

[Baby-fuzd]

Good presentation, but would have been better if you added some sounds so that we follow what you're talking about step by step 😊

[joetancredi]

I've never taken a good look in the the mirror and identified another (heart on my left) which is actually the right side of the mirror and took a good auscultation now. Thank you for your orienteering of my heart..
