Employment of color Doppler echocardiographic video clips in a cardiac auscultation class with a cardiology patient simulator: discrepancy between students’ satisfaction and learning

Table 2 Accuracy rates in the first test and second test in 2010-2012 and 2014-2015

All, all heart sounds and heart murmurs; S2, second sound; S3, third sound; S4, fourth sound; AS, aortic stenosis; AR, aortic regurgitation; MR, mitral regurgitation; MS, mitral stenosis. Since 324 students in 2010-2012 and 250 students in 2014-2015 listened to three heart sounds of Category A, three heart sounds of Category B and four heart murmurs of Category C in the first test and one heart sound of Category A, one heart sound of Category B and one murmur of Category C in the second test, the number of heart sounds or murmurs that the students listened to was as shown in the parenthesis of each cell. The number was approximately one-third for each heart sound in Categories A and B and one-fourth for each murmur in Category C in the second test as compared with the first test because of the differences in the number of each heart sound or murmur randomly assigned to the students between the two tests. The data of 2010-2012 have been reported in our previously published article [15]
