Why Consult in Cardiology?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your veterinarian may recommend evaluation by a veterinary cardiologist to investigate the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>following signs:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Arrhythmia<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Heart murmur<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Coughing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Rapid breathing at rest<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Fainting or weakness events<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Exercise intolerance<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Abdominal, thoracic or pericardial fluid (effusion)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The purpose of the cardiology consultation is to evaluate the presence and severity of heart<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Disease, and determine whether the symptoms prompting the consultation are related to\u00a0<\/span>heart disease.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/div>
    <\/span>What signs may indicate a heart problem in my pet?<\/strong> <\/div>
    \n

    Coughing, rapid breathing at rest, exercise intolerance, episodes of weakness or loss of consciousness, as well as a heart murmur or arrhythmia detected by your veterinarian, may <\/span>warrant<\/span> a cardiology evaluation.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/div>
    <\/span>What can a cardiology consultation determine?<\/strong> <\/div>
    \n

    A cardiology consultation helps assess the presence and severity of heart disease and <\/span>determine<\/span> whether your pet’s symptoms are related to a cardiac condition.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/div>
    <\/span>What cardiac tests may be performed?<\/strong> <\/div>
    \n

    Depending on your pet’s needs, an echocardiogram, electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-rays, or extended cardiac monitoring using a Holter monitor may be recommended.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/div>
    <\/span>Does a pet with a heart murmur always require treatment?<\/strong> <\/div>
    \n

    Not necessarily. Heart murmurs can have different causes and varying degrees of severity. An evaluation helps <\/span>determine<\/span> whether heart disease is present and whether monitoring or treatment is necessary.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5719,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"hopital":[],"soin_cat":[596],"centre":[471],"class_list":["post-5663","soins_spec","type-soins_spec","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","soin_cat-cardiology","centre-centre-veterinaire-laval-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCardiology - Vet et Nous<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vetetnous.com\/en\/specialized-services\/cardiology-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cardiology - Vet et Nous\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Why Consult in Cardiology?
