Enclosed is the bibliography of the resources that we pulled from in conducting the electronic stethoscope technology assessment. There are not a lot of great single source resources out there, but with a combination of journal articles, books, websites, and thesis submissions we were able to compile a rather extensive resource list. We will update the resources as new articles are published.
