Anatomical charts provide cardiologists with the visual tools they need to explain how the heart functions. Visual models help patients understand how the various parts of the heart work in concert. In this presentation, we look at the latest anatomical charts and visual models for use in a cardiologist's office.

1. Visual Authority:
Anatomical Charts for
Cardiologists

2. Illustrate Your Knowledge
You know what the heart looks like. You know what the heart feels like.
You know how the heart can deteriorate. But your patients don’t. That’s
why anatomical charts and models are so helpful for practicing
cardiologists.
Anatomical charts and models help bridge the doctor-patient divide,
providing illustration of the complex instruments inside our bodies. This
presentation will provide an in depth look at the visual charts and
models available for use in a cardiologist’s office.
