Not getting descriptions in the description tab for each defect. The other tabs and graphics work great!
Good app but not enough variety of defects. Was hoping for Pulmonary Atresia.
Very good application to discuss with parents
Was hoping for info on coronary sinus 'asd'. Very little out there.... Cool app otherwise thank you
EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR ANYONE LEARNING CHD!
Very cool app just wish it had my son's defect...Double Inlet Left Ventricle. Also wish you could add on defects like pulmonary stenosis for those who have multiple like we do. This would be a great tool for explaining chd to others!
I love this app. I use it a lot. It's interesting to see how a heart that's malformed looks before and after surgery. The explanations are very understandable, even if English is my second language. Also, it's a great help when explaining what was wrong with my heart. Great job, well done. I hope you will add other CHDs as well...
As a junior doctor this is a godsend! Detailed, anatomically correct 3D images of the normal, defective and surgically repaired heart with the fantastic video explanation make it so much easier to understand CHDs. I would recommend this to my colleagues and parents of patients
There aren't enough defects on this. My l.o has ASD, VSD, Tricuspid atresia aortic stenosis and thought this app would've been great to show others what happen in his heart everyday. This being said this app has huge potential!
Its a great app but my child has MAPCAs and its never seen or talked about. it would be really cool to see it 3D
This would be great if the hearts weren't fully pink! The information is still really useful - but I preferred it when I could see the heart properly.
For some reason on our teaching tablet for the residents the images are just pink blobs. Great concept but a pink outline of a heart isnt helpful. May be the tablet (galaxy) but doesnt work
Ok so I have •Coarctation of the aorta •Biscupid aorric valve •Aortic root dilation. Though only one is upnthere it gives me an insite to it thay is easy as I wirk beater woth a diogram when I read about it
Its fun and all, but I won't rate it five stars until this problem is fixed.
I would love to see more defects. My daughter has Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and multiple aortopulmonary collaterals with vsd. It would be nice to be able to see a 3d image of this.
It was working fine, but after update all diagrams are pink with no anatomic details.
This app shows the different defects in easy to understand language
I can't able to veiw heart in my phone... Its fully pink... It is not supporting in my phone
This was A neat program when I first saw it! But it won't load the hearts on my phone!
Lovely, just need some details in haemodynamics
On my phone, this app does not show the image of heart, it just show a heart-shape in pink!!!
Good.. Thanks
Thank you to Cincinnati Children's for sharing this wonderful, interactive tool useful to educate providers and families about common congenital heart anomalies. So far the app runs without a glitch for iPhones as well as for Droids.
Great way to explain the heart defect to parents right after diagnosis. Please, keep up the great work!
Awesome way to explain heart defects to the kids who have them and want to see what theirs looks like!
Excellent 3D models. Keep up the great work!
I wish it had Hypoplasic Right Heart Syndrome. But over all I like it. My son has had 2 open heart surgeries. And it's hard to explain to others what exactly is wrong. They don't really get it and it is hard to explain without pictures
What a great app to have it definitely helps explain things to some people. Would love to see a DORV heart and repair
It won't load diagram/image. I've clicked on it several times and it just cuts off and sends me back to my homepage
It's a cool app but support for it has disappeared and is never updated. Wish they added more heart defects before stopping entirely. Still a cool app though.
