Cardiology

Our veterinary clinic provides specialized cardiology services for your pets. Various heart disorders are very important for the quality of life of pets; therefore, our goal is to diagnose and treat heart diseases early so that your pets can enjoy a long and healthy life.

Consultation of Cardiologist

Consultation with a Veterinary Cardiologist is necessary if you notice that your pet is experiencing heart problems or has certain symptoms indicating possible heart disease. During the consultation, a detailed examination of the pet’s cardiovascular system is performed with advanced diagnostic equipment; a treatment plan and recommendations are provided based on the diagnosis.

When the consultation of Cardiologist is required?

We recommend to contact a Veterinary Cardiologist if you notice these symptoms::

        •       Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
        •       Sudden decrease in activity, fatigue, weakness, or fainting.
        •       Coughing, especially at night or after exercise.
        •       Unusual heart rhythm or beating.
        •       Increase of the abdominal area that may indicate fluid build-up.
        •       Bluish tongue or gums.

Cardiological examination can also be performed preventively for older pets or breeds that are prone to heart diseases (for instance, some small dog breeds, like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, or large breeds, like Dobermans).

Cardiological services 

Our clinic offers the following cardiological services:

        •       Heart ultrasound examinations (echocardiography): this examination allows to assess the structure of the heart, the condition of the valves, blood flow, and overall heart function.
        •       ECG (electrocardiogram):
        •       Blood pressure measurement: High or low blood pressure may indicate problems with the heart or other organs.
        •       Chest X-ray examination: this examination allows to assess the size and shape of the heart and possible fluid accumulation in the lungs or abdominal cavity.
        •       Assessment of circulatory function: additional examinations are performed to determine how effectively the heart is supplying blood to the body.

•  An examination that measures the heart rhythm (similar to an electrocardiogram), but with a  Holter monitor, the heart rate is measured 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (i. e., it can be measured 7 days in a row). 
This examination is performed on patients who occasionally experience loss of consciousness and want to see what their heart rate is like outside of the clinic. 
Holter monitoring is also necessary for preventive examinations for such breeds as Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds.

Treatment of cardiological diseases 

If your pet is diagnosed with heart disease, our Veterinary Cardiologist will develop a personalized treatment plan. Depending on the type of disease and its stage, the treatment may include:

        •       Medication therapy to manage symptoms, improve heart function, or reduce the workload on the heart.
        •       Lifestyle and dietary changes to ensure optimal care.
        •       Regular follow-up and examination visits to allow timely adjustments to the treatment plan.
