Signs of a heart problem in your pet may include persistent coughing, unusual fatigue, exercise intolerance, rapid or difficult breathing even at rest, and abdominal distension or abnormal swelling. In some cases, episodes of weakness, unconsciousness or collapse may also occur.
We use advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify heart disease, differentiate symptoms from other conditions and suggest appropriate treatments:
Doppler Echocardiography
Detailed assessment of cardiac structures and blood flow.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Detection of arrhythmias and abnormal heart rhythms.
Thoracic Radiography
Assessment of heart size and function.
Blood Pressure Measurement
Screening for hypertension associated with cardiac or systemic diseases.
Interdisciplinary collaboration and personalized care
Our cardiology specialists work closely with the internal medicine, emergency and imaging departments to provide comprehensive, personalized care. This multidisciplinary approach optimizes the management of heart disease and ensures rigorous follow-up tailored to each patient.
Whether for preventive screening, in-depth diagnosis or management of progressive heart disease, our cardiology department is available to provide specialized care, always with respect for animal welfare.
