Leave a Review Heart Pro III
One thing you should know...
As a med student, we all have wet lab (cadaver) and can hold the heart in hand. This app gives us the ability to visualize the pathologies in motion...nice! Despite being well designed and implemented, hearing the sounds of the pathologies or far more important than just visuals. Sound is only available in the normal heart. Just so you know. I wish I knew before I purchased the additional content (in-app purchase).Show lessSmackDabb
Cool but weight the cost
This app was very cool but you may not use it a whole lot. I am a nursing student and in anatomy and physiology the heart tends to be one of the hardest units, so i thought this would help me out. It didn't. I barely used it. Really cool and well made but may not be what your looking for.J@MSU
AMAZING, PLAIN & SIMPLE
I am a student of medicine and have NEVER found pertinent medical information so readily available and user friendly. The animations are like nothing I've ever seen. The artistry as a whole is beautiful. BEST MEDICAL APP (and series) on the market.SoberinJeffersonDistrict
Good, over priced for what it comes with
I really love this company and all its apps, but this one seems to fall short.
I have little problem dropping $20 for an entire system, but $8 or $9 for the heart but the heart acts like a bone... That doesn't do it for me. To look inside there are only 6 views, I would really like a"layer" of the outer part of the heart so you can see all the way inside and interact that way.
I was also under the impression that this came with all the veins and arteries, but I can let that go.
So please update the looking inside optionsShow lessandrewbatz
Fantastic teaching tool
I've been VERY impressed with this app so far! Tremendous improvements in the graphics and it's very quick and easy to navigate through for patient education, especially when pressed for time in the office OR making rounds. It can certainly add to a patient's understanding of certain cardiac conditions or procedures (and understanding leads to less misinformation and it's consequences). I would highly recommend splurging the $20 fee for the multiple video animations it offers. I would venture to say they may have more in the works based on their fast response to my email comments. These videos are very well done and the library is fairly extensive for a first showing. If you have an issue with the cost, have the office pick up the tab or you can rely on the pharmaceutical freebees which can be rather primitive. Even the cost of the plastic models dwarfs the relatively inexpensive price tag on this more updated technology. Kudos to 3D4Medical for putting quality into patient (and student) education!Show lessrdschultz5
Great app, great update, greedy price
Every app 3D4 makes is gold. I love the Pro series, and Heart Pro is my favorite; this is the app that made me get an iPad. That being said, I cringed when I paid for it the first time, and I'm cringing now that I have to pay $20 more for the updated animations. This is an expensive app to begin with, and I made that purchase with the hope that it would contribute to improvements. I'm really glad to hear the synchronized heart tones, and a little bit of ECG correlation (more of that please!). Unfortunately, I can't speak on the new animations because I can't justify paying more than the app itself for what I can find for free on the internet. Your apps are invaluable, 3D4, just... not $20 valuable, because I, like many of your customers, am a poor med student. You'll get my 5 and maybe more money when the update is dropped to a reasonable price!Show lessKidder523
Love the app and the perspective it provides!
I have used this app for a little over a week. I'm running this on the 1st gen iPad, and so far it seems pretty smooth. I have had some issues with the Application not responding after playing a few videos, but I'm at least able to play the videos I need 80% of the time.
I love the perspective it provides of the inner workings of the heart, and my classmates were just as impressed as I was. Seeing the conduction of the heart is amazing, and the movies that come with it are invaluable. It's like having a functioning heart at your disposal for instant analysis!
The one thing that I would love to see is this; I think it would be great to be able to view a side by side movie of the hearts conduction system (firing live), with the corresponding ECG. I'm in Paramedic school, and having this ability to view the conduction system within a beating heart along with the corresponding ECG would be great!
Thumbs way up!Show lessSshadowssin
Great for static Display
Very detailed and great for static display of heart anatomy. Yes, this is a more convenient tool to use with patients/students in identifying details of the anatomy and it beats having to keep texts around to do the same. But lets face facts, the purpose of the iPad is to be more interactive than a book. With the exception of a view video movements, it does not do much more than mimic what I have had in clinic for years, and at half the cost.
The video motion detail is nice but fails in anatomic detail. It is missing key components to the flow of blood through the heart and shows nothing more than a normal beating as blood passes through it or the electrical conduction through the bundles. It would be nice if future versions had abnormalities of stenosis, regurgitation, or prolapse so that I do not have to over describe what is happening.
It will "Wow" the average person but needs more animation to be completely useful.Show lessxcollins
To Show
I had the iPhone version and used to love pulling it out during a consultation to wow a patient now I do the same with the iPad version but to greater effect. It really does make an enormous difference partly because of the information it contains and it's accuracy but above all it is the beauty of the model. It is lifelike without being gruesome and the animations especially the ones where you can see the valves working, are awesome.
Great company - great work.Show lessBones Joe Malone
Extremely handy
This is one of my favorite apps. I teach 3d ultrasound and find the breakaway views so helpful in comparing ultrasound images with recognized structures. This app impresses every I share it with and helps me with my work.Michelle Fox
