What is veterinary cardiology?
Veterinary cardiology is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in cats and dogs.
It involves the study of the structure and function of the heart, as well as the diagnosis and management of various cardiac diseases. This includes such disorders as congestive heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, degenerative valve disease, systemic hypertension, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, and cardiac tumors.
Veterinary cardiologists use advanced diagnostic techniques, such as echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac catheterization, to assess and treat heart conditions in pets.
