Cardiology

A cardiac workup typically consists of; a physical examination, blood tests, an ECG and an ultrasound scan.

Typically, your pet will remain conscious throughout their cardiac workup (unless discussed and advised differently).

If your pet has a heart condition, it is a good idea to monitor this routinely. The most effective ways of doing so include blood tests, ECGs and ultrasounds.

By carrying out cardiac investigations, we are able to; - Assess murmurs and arrhythmias. - Investigation of all types of cardiomyopathies. - Emergency treatment of heart failures. - Investigation of reduced exercise tolerance, fainting, weakness & syncope. - Reassessment and management of long-term cardiac disease. - Treatment of pericardial and pleural effusions. - Investigation of breathing problems. - Investigation of coughing. - Investigation and treatment of pulmonary hypertension. - Breed screening for heart disease.
