Clear and Crisp. Watch it and go through your notes. 8yrs and I'll still recommend this because there's no other video that explains murmurs this clearly.

This is the BEST, most useful, clearest and most practical lecture on heart sounds, in my experience. Thank you soooo much for sharing.

The best illustration I have ever watched about murmurs. I am really thankful.

this person has really has a knack for teaching

[nazellina]

This is absolutely the best video on this topic on youtube. God, it made everything so clear

[limweiyang]

No one has really bothered to explain how the shape of murmur is linked to the pressure gradient. Good job on that, Dr Eric! Your videos are truly eye openers ! Thank you so much

PA student here. Thank you for putting all the concepts together and building them up into the examples. We were given all of these pieces separately and seeing how the pressure difference in structures produced the murmur finally made sense of it to me.

it's an awesome lecture. I struggled to learn heart murmur when I was a medical student, and I have been confused up until now when auscultating the heart. Now I get it. I tried to memorize when I was a student, now I understand the murmur. Thanks a lot!!

Simple, clear, and short video describing both systolic and diastolic murmurs
.

[RsinghNP]

Thank you so much. I am an NP student and this information was extremely helpful as a review. It was by far the best review on murmurs!

[laurencelesser]

As an older clinical cardiologist I applaud your very timely, expert and excellent lecture.  Well done and much needed.  I hate the reflex: "systolic murmur, lets get an echo!"

[priya]

One of the best murmur lecture I've seen. Thank you so much!

[NitinSahuPHOTOS]

GREAT. VERY VERY INFORMATIVE. EXCELLENT NARRATION. SIMPLICITY AT ITS BEST.
