Cardiology

CardiologyVeterinary cardiology is a specialty service dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease. Small animals are affected with a variety of congenital and acquired heart diseases. Our service is designed to provide services focused on the diagnosis and management of both acute and chronic heart disease in dogs and cats.

The cardiology service at the VEC is run by a team of specially trained clinicians including a board certified veterinary cardiologist and registered veterinary technicians.

State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment is utilized to assess each animal's condition and to monitor the response to therapy. Non-invasive techniques such as those listed below provide us with information on the pet's cardiovascular status.

  • Ultrasound 
  • Doppler/Echocardiogram
  • Electrocardiogram  (EKG)
  • Holter  Monitor & Readings
  • Radiographs

C.E.R.F. exams for OFA certification are also performed on the premises.
