Visualizing the Biological

Below is an editorial project for a selected journal cover – the article this image relates to was about Still’s heart murmer, fairly common in school age children.  It’s a fascinating benign murmer that was likened to the sound of an Aeolian harp – this if this harmless murmer is heard in children, they can be told they have a musical heart.  This author’s theory was that the blood flowing through the chordae tendinae of the right ventricle produced the characteristic pitch and humming sound.

And for all you curious ones out there, here’s an actual recording of one:http://www2.umdnj.edu/~shindler/still.html
