Veterinary Cardiology
Veterinary Cardiology is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart and vascular diseases in animals. This branch of medicine is essential for pets, particularly dogs and cats, as they can suffer from various heart conditions similar to humans, such as congenital heart defects, heart murmurs, and heart failure.
Veterinary cardiologists use advanced diagnostic tools like ultrasound, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and radiographs to assess heart health. Treatment options may include medications, dietary changes, and in some cases, surgical interventions. The goal is to improve the quality of life for animals with heart issues and manage their conditions effectively.
