WHAT IS
HEART SOUND RECORDING?
Heart Sound Recording is a non-invasive educational wellness experience that uses specialized equipment to capture the sounds and rhythms produced by your heart.
A small sensor is placed at four spots on the chest, one at a time, to record heart sounds. Those sounds are then displayed visually, allowing you to see the patterns created during the cardiac cycle.
Your heartbeat is something you've heard your entire life.
HSR gives you an opportunity to see it, too.
NON-INVASIVE
No needles or blood draw.
LISTEN
Specialized equipment records the sounds produced by your heart.
VISUALIZE

YOUR HEART. VISUALIZED.
SEE YOUR HEART SOUND.
Heart sounds can be captured and displayed as waveforms, creating a visual representation of the sounds and rhythms occurring throughout the cardiac cycle.
