Title: HyperHeart
Description: HyperHeart is a tutorial that portrays the major events of the cardiac cycle including systole and diastole. Changes in atrial pressure and ventricular pressure are shown in relation to the classic heart sounds and the electrocardiogram (EKG). Descriptions for each phase of the cardiac cycle are provided in addition to frame-by frame viewing. With this tool, students may discover the complex interrelationships between heart functions for each phase of the cardiac cycle. Requires Macromedia Flash Player plug-in.

This is a very good overview of the cardiac cycle. The pages describing each phase of the cardiac cycle make this an effective presentation. I found it very easy to use. I also liked the ability to stop the motion and then click through frame by frame. The ability to do this, coupled with the page description of each phase, make this a very good presentation. The significance is very high for the education of medical professionals. It could also be used for advanced physiology classes at the university level. I did find one error regarding the descriptive page of isovolumetric contraction. This page indicated ventricular systole ends when the aortic and pulmonary valves open. It should say isovolumetic contraction ends when these valves open. The ending of ventricular systole is indicated correctly on the page describing reduced ejection. L. Britt Wilson
