"Learning Electrocardiography," formerly called "Atlas of Electrocardiography," is an upgrade from the prior Atlas Version. The Learning Electrocardiography CD-ROM contains over 100 clinical EKGs in 9 clinical categories. The tracings are standard 12 lead versions with zoom enlargements of critical areas. in some cases, orthogonal XYZ leads are also included. A detailed interpretation is presented which includes the criteria and the rational for the diagnosis.

The tracings are hyperlinked with 10 discussion topics which include: the Specialized Conduction System, A-V Block, Bundle Branch Block, Chamber Enlargement, the EKG in CVA, Loop Rotation, Electrolytes, Myocardial Infarction, Tachycardia, and Ventricular Pre-excitation.

This CD-ROM covers coronary artery disease with emphasis on cineangiography and valvular heart disease with emphasis on echocardiography.

This CD-ROM contains a complete description of one of the most common cardiovascular disorders in the US - Coronary Artery Disease. There are numerous examples of cath lab views from actual patient showing narrowed and occluded coronary arteries. There is a complete clinical discussion and rationale for the diagnosis.

The second part of this CD-ROM covers Valvular Heart Disease - mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. The user can review the electrocardiogram, a series of echocardiograms, cath lab data and results, heart sounds, and chest X-Rays.

Unlimited Technical Support.

This CD-ROM contains over 118 clinical EKGs in 9 clinical categories. The tracings are standard 12 lead versions with zoom enlargements of critical areas. In some cases, orthogonal XYZ leads are also included. A detailed interpretation is presented which includes the criteria and the rationale for the diagnosis.

This new version contains an EKG tutorial, a Student Assessment, a section on vectrocardiography and the ability to ZOOM or expand any lead in any EKG for greater detail. This new upgrade is a significant improvement.

The tracings are hyperlinked with 10 discussion topics which include: the specialized conduction system, A-V block, bundle branch block, chamber enlargement, loop rotation, the EKG in CVA, electrolytes, myocardial infraction, tachycardia, and ventricular pre-excitation. This CD-ROM will operate on Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.
