About Cardiology Consultations
As a specialty consultation service, our cardiologists are
available and committed to working with veterinarians in an
integrated team approach to better diagnose and treat patients
with heart disease. Our highly trained, board certified
cardiologists are able to interpret advanced diagnostic images
that are used to identify the heart problem suspected in
patients. The consultation and evaluation of the images are then
used to create a treatment plan specifically for the patient's
condition. Depending on the problems identified through
diagnostic testing, treatment recommendations may be medical
(e.g. starting or adding additional oral medications) or may
require an interventional procedure (e.g. pacemaker
implantation).
