Our Veterinary Cardiology Services

Comprehensive cardiac care for pets — from advanced diagnostics to ongoing management and emergency treatment

Echocardiography & Cardiac Ultrasound

Our advanced echocardiography service uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed real-time images of your pet's heart. This non-invasive diagnostic tool allows our cardiologists to evaluate heart chamber dimensions, wall thickness, valve function, and blood flow patterns with remarkable precision.

Echocardiography is essential for diagnosing conditions such as valvular insufficiency, cardiomyopathies, pericardial effusions, and congenital heart defects. With our state-of-the-art ultrasound systems and experienced cardiac imagers, we can detect even subtle abnormalities that may go unnoticed in routine examinations.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring

Electrocardiography is a cornerstone of veterinary cardiac assessment, recording the electrical activity of your pet's heart to identify rhythm disturbances and conduction abnormalities. Our digital ECG systems provide high-fidelity tracings for accurate interpretation by our specialist cardiologists.

From detecting atrial fibrillation in large-breed dogs to identifying premature ventricular complexes in cats, our ECG monitoring service helps guide treatment decisions and monitor disease progression. We also offer stress ECG testing for athletic and working animals.

Holter Monitoring

For pets with intermittent cardiac symptoms such as episodic weakness, fainting, or exercise intolerance, 24-hour Holter monitoring provides continuous ECG recording during normal daily activities. This ambulatory monitoring captures rhythm disturbances that may not appear during brief in-clinic evaluations.

Our Holter monitoring service uses lightweight, pet-friendly devices that are well-tolerated by animals of all sizes. The comprehensive data analysis helps our cardiologists identify hidden arrhythmias, assess their frequency, and tailor anti-arrhythmic therapy to your pet's specific needs.

Blood Pressure Management

Systemic hypertension is a common but often underdiagnosed condition in pets, particularly in older cats and dogs with kidney disease or endocrine disorders. Our veterinary cardiologists provide accurate blood pressure measurement using Doppler or oscillometric technology in a stress-reduced environment.

We develop individualized hypertension management plans that may include anti-hypertensive medications, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations. Regular monitoring ensures that your pet's blood pressure remains within the optimal range to protect the heart, eyes, kidneys, and brain from damage.

Learn More

Congenital Heart Disease Diagnosis

Congenital heart defects are present at birth and can range from minor anomalies with no clinical significance to severe malformations that compromise cardiac function. Early detection is crucial for optimal outcomes, and our centre is equipped to diagnose these conditions even in very young animals.

Using advanced imaging modalities including echocardiography and color Doppler, we can precisely characterize defects such as patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defects, and aortic stenosis. We work closely with surgical specialists when interventional procedures are indicated for your pet.

Learn More

Heart Failure Management

Congestive heart failure is a progressive condition that requires careful, ongoing management to maintain your pet's quality of life. Our cardiologists develop comprehensive treatment protocols that may include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and other cardiac medications tailored to your pet's specific condition.

We provide regular follow-up assessments including repeat echocardiography, radiography, and blood work to monitor response to therapy and adjust treatment as needed. Our team educates pet owners about home monitoring for signs of deterioration and offers emergency consultation when concerns arise.

Learn More

Cardiac Screening Programs

Preventive cardiac screening is essential for breeds with known cardiac predispositions, senior pets, and animals undergoing anesthesia for any surgical procedure. Our screening programs include a thorough cardiac examination, ECG, and echocardiography to establish baseline heart health.

Early detection through screening allows for timely intervention that can significantly improve long-term outcomes. We offer tailored screening packages for breeders, pet owners with at-risk breeds, and referring veterinarians seeking pre-anesthetic cardiac clearance for their patients.

Learn More

Pericardial Disease Treatment

Diseases of the pericardium, the protective sac surrounding the heart, can range from inflammation to fluid accumulation that compromises cardiac function. Our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating pericardial effusions, constrictive pericarditis, and neoplastic pericardial conditions.

We offer pericardiocentesis — a minimally invasive procedure to drain excess fluid and relieve pressure on the heart — as well as ongoing management strategies. Our team works with oncology specialists when pericardial disease is associated with cancer to provide integrated, compassionate care.

Learn More

Cardiac Emergency Care

Cardiac emergencies such as acute heart failure, severe arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock require immediate intervention. Our centre is equipped to handle veterinary cardiac emergencies with rapid diagnostic assessment including point-of-care ultrasound and emergency ECG.

Our team collaborates with emergency and critical care specialists to provide round-the-clock support for pets in cardiac crisis. We offer urgent pericardiocentesis, emergency anti-arrhythmic therapy, and stabilization protocols to give your pet the best chance of survival during a cardiac emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about veterinary cardiology

Veterinary cardiology is a specialized branch of veterinary medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and cardiovascular diseases in animals. Pets can develop a variety of heart conditions including valve disorders, cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and congenital defects. Early detection and specialized care can significantly improve your pet's quality of life and longevity. If your pet shows symptoms like coughing, exercise intolerance, fainting, or breathing difficulty, a cardiac evaluation is strongly recommended.

Common signs of heart disease in pets include persistent coughing (especially at night), labored or rapid breathing, reduced energy and exercise intolerance, fainting or collapsing episodes, swollen abdomen due to fluid accumulation, weight loss, and bluish gums. Cats may also show sudden hind limb paralysis due to blood clots. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a cardiac evaluation with a veterinary cardiologist as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive, painless ultrasound examination of the heart that is typically performed while the pet is awake and gently restrained. The fur over the chest area may be shaved to improve image quality. A conductive gel is applied, and a probe is placed on the chest wall to obtain real-time images of the heart. Most pets tolerate the procedure very well without sedation, though mild sedatives may be used for anxious animals. The procedure usually takes 20-40 minutes and provides detailed information about heart structure and function.

Several dog breeds are genetically predisposed to heart disease. Small breeds like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, Poodles, and Chihuahuas commonly develop mitral valve disease. Large and giant breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Great Danes, and Irish Wolfhounds are prone to dilated cardiomyopathy. Boxers also have a higher risk of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. In cats, Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and British Shorthairs are at increased risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Regular screening is recommended for these at-risk breeds.

The frequency of cardiac screening depends on your pet's age, breed, and overall health. For at-risk breeds, annual cardiac screening starting at 1-2 years of age is recommended. Senior pets (7+ years for dogs, 10+ for cats) should have cardiac evaluations at least annually, even without symptoms. Pets with known heart conditions may need follow-up assessments every 3-6 months. Additionally, any pet undergoing anesthesia for surgery should receive a pre-anesthetic cardiac evaluation to identify potential risks. Your veterinary cardiologist will recommend an appropriate screening schedule based on your pet's specific needs.

Treatment for pet heart disease depends on the specific condition and its severity. Options include oral medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid accumulation, ACE inhibitors to lower blood pressure and ease heart workload, beta-blockers for arrhythmia management, and positive inotropes to strengthen heart contractions. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures like balloon valvuloplasty or pacemaker implantation may be recommended. Dietary modifications, weight management, and controlled exercise are also important components of cardiac care. Our cardiologists develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each pet's unique needs.
