Practical Cardiology for the General Practitioner

***Click Here to RSVP***

Cardiac issues are very common in pets with approximately 10% of the dogs veterinarians evaluate experiencing heart disease. In this lecture, we will discuss many of the common cardiology scenarios that pets present in everyday practice. We will provide you easy to understand and executable plans to help pets live long and happy lives. Our goal is for everyone involved in the case (pet owner and us veterinarians) to truly understand the big picture of what is going on, what signs to look for and what to expect. Some of the specific cardiology scenarios we will be discussing include congestive heart failure in little dogs, big dogs and feline patients, degenerative valve disease vs DCM, HCM, pulmonary hypertension and common arrhythmias. And… we promise to make cardiology fun!
