This will be an interactive cardiology course, focusing on the diagnosis and management of common cardiac diseases in first opinion small animal practice.
The day will begin with an overview of the diagnostic tests available and their relative merits. Following this introduction, an interactive approach will be used to highlight and discuss many of the key dilemmas you will face managing common cardiovascular diseases in dogs and cats. The intention is to demonstrate what can be achieved by a well-informed first opinion practitioner rather than illustrate what can be done in a referral setting.
The course content will be informed by recent research findings, but will concentrate on the value of simple procedures such as home monitoring, physical examination, blood tests, radiography and basic echocardiography. Specific case examples will be used to illustrate the decision making processes involved in case management.
Who is it for?
Veterinary surgeons in primary care practice who wish to use the tools already at their disposal to more effectively manage patients with heart disease.
