Product Information:

Contains a large image of a normal heart for easy comparison with these important cardiac conditions. Visually and textually describes heart murmurs, cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, acquired heart defects and high cholesterol & its consequences. Specifically: 
 
Defines heart murmurs and their causes. Shows coarctation of the aorta, ventricular septal defect and mitral valve prolapse. 
 
Describes common cardiac arrhymias (abnormal heart rates & rhythms) -- tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrythmias. Shows the sites of common cardiac arrhythmias by section of the heart: sinus node, ventricular, atrial and junctional arrhythnmas, as well as atrioventricular (AV) blocks. 
 
Defines and shows the following common congenital (present at birth) defects: patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. 
 
Textually and visually shows acquired heart defects-- myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and Kawaski's disease. 
 
Describes high cholesterol, coronary heart disease (CAD) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Shows how cholesterol is transported in the blood, the structure of a typical lipoprotein (which carries the cholesterol throughout the body), and the consequence of high cholesterol - atherosclerosis - plaque clogged arteries.
