Cardiac Exam Skills - Online Resources

Below are some links to cardiac auscultation aides.  All have free content, some direct you to optional purchases.  I am thinking of getting some of the blaufuss tools for the sim lab - post comments if you find their free stuff useful.  Looks like they have a device to pipe the audio from the murmurs into your own stethoscope. 

Mulimedia cardiac auscultation tools - matches sounds with videos of physiologic process to enhance learning:

Large database of free heart sounds from Texas Heart Institute.  Free is good!
