This presentation will present an overview of
cardiology conditions seen in horses.
Arrhythmias, acquired diseases, congenital
disease and equine cardiac physiology will be
addressed. Some treatment modalities will
also be discussed.
This presentation will cover the indication
for, technology behind, and functions of
cardiac pacemakers in small animals.
Implantation and potential complications are
also discussed.
A good quality recording is critical for
accurate interpretation of ECG tracings. This
lecture will briefly present the principles of
electrocardiography, teach how to use the
various functions available on current ECG
machines in order to improve the quality of
the recordings, and provide tips for basic
ECG interpretation. Emphasis will be placed
on artifact detection and how to eliminate
them.
Many diagnostic features of cardiac disease
have been described and perpetuated by
literature and teachers of veterinary
cardiology, often with little basis. This talk
will examine selected diagnostic variables

Predicting if and when dogs with mitral valve
disease will experience the first episode of
CHF is extremely challenging. Better
prediction would help practitioners
formulate individualized monitorig and
treatment plans. We will discuss prediction
of CHF based on new and emerging
radiographic, biochemical,
50 minute talk echocardiographic, and physical exam data.
Diuretics are a mainstay of heart failure
therapy. As disease worsens, increased
doses are typically required to alleviate
clinical signs, however, the efficacy of
diuretics appears to diminish over time.
Diuretic resistance complicates treatment
and we will discuss causes of resistance and
emerging strategies to overcome this
Either a 25 or 50 minute talk is acceptable growing problem.
Mitral valve disease is the most common
heart disease in dogs and has been
extensively studied in many aspects. Despite
this, many controversies exist and this

potential and pitfalls of this fast developing laboratory in Edinburgh, and discuss their
area. therapeutic potential.
This session reviews the diagnosis and
treatment of the most common emergency
arrhythmias seen in small animals. Talk
cover ventricular and supraventricular
tachyarrhythmias, as well as clinically
significant bradyarrhythmias.
This talk will review white coat effect in
various species and the significance of this
finding. In addition how best to obtain
readings will be discussed. In addition,
results of our research using in-home blood
pressure measurement by owners will be
NA presented.
This lecture will look at the changes that are
seen with hyperkalemia, specifically as they
relate to the ECG. The lecture will
incorporate data we have gathered from
hyperkalemic blocked cats. Treatments will
be discussed, especially the clear indication
for calcium injections in cats that show
typical signs of hyperkalemia on an ECG.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is probably
the most prevalent cardiac disease in cats.
Recent studies have shown that the
prevalence of HCM is around 15% in the
general cat population. The clinical signs of
HCM can be very serious (CHF and/or ATE),
and therefore diagnosis and consensus of
what amounts to left ventricular
hypertrophy is important, but is also a

Caval Syndrome, starting with what
diagnostics are preformed and what results
to look for in the diagnostic work up.
Anesthetic protocol, surgical technique and
instruments used for worm retrieval are also
discussed. The report includes video and
pictures taken during the procedure which
demonstrate the use of ishihara forceps,
fluorscopy and TEE.
A prospective, randomized, blinded study
has been developed to evaluate the clinical
effect of early therapeutic intervention in
Irish wolfhound dogs with preclinical DCM or

Many issues regarding management and
prevention of heartworm infection remain in
a state of confusion and controversy. Recent
breakthroughs have improved adulticidal
and microfilaricidal therapy with less patient
impact, using adjunctive doxycline.
Information regarding concern of heartworm
preventive failure, MP3 strain, and
compliance are provided in an objective,
balanced way.
This talk will focus on new research within
myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs.
New studies regarding the genetic
background, 24-hour electrocardiography,
endothelial and vascular function, plasma
biomarkers, advanced echocardiography
including color tissue Doppler imaging and
speckle tracking describing myocardial
function and histopathology will be
presented and discussed.
Data from 150 individual canine cases of
pulmonic stenosis (2003-2011) will be
presented. Unpublished results will be
shown regarding echocardiographic
assessment of RV function in PS and it’ s
correlation to disease severity and risk for
CHF. The effects of beta-blockade and
balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty on RV
function will also be presented.
New genetic modalities allow exploration of
genetic influence on physiological and
pathophysiological responses. Examination
of 100 genotyped healthy dogs revealed
changes in BP, HR, and breed differences.
Catecholamines increased substantially,
accompanied by osmotic diuresis with renal
concentration mechanisms unaltered, which
could recommend clinical trials.
Flecainide is a Vaughan-Williams Class 1C
AAR, marketed since 1983. Having used it for
4 years (since Mexiletine has been removed
from the European market), we present the
usefulness of this AAR in a sample of 35
treated cases (6 DCM, 10 Doberman CM, 3
Boxer CM, 5 Ischemic myocarditis, 4 SAS, 2
Context:" "Review & Research" MVD and 5 shocks with free radicals).
Auscultation is the cornerstone of the
physical cardiovascular examination, but
remains a thorny challenge for the
generalist. Echography, essentially through
the Doppler modes, has considerably
improved our understanding of murmurs.
Through the use of color flow mapping, the
difficult art of auscultation is brought up to
Context: "Comprehensive Review" date.
This presentation will discuss the most
common pleural space disease processes
and will demonstrate chest tap and chest
tube placement procedures using step by
step photos and also video.
This presentation will discuss the veterinary
technician's role in assisting the cardiologist
with optimal patient holding and positioning
for echocardiograms. It will offer tips to
minimize patient movement during studies
and will review various sedation protocols
that may be used by the NC State Cardiology
Power Point Presentation Service if needed.
Real time three-dimensional
echocardiography (RT3DE) is an ultrasound
modality that provides comprehensive views
of cardiac valves and congenital defects.
RT3DE is a potentially more accurate means
of evaluating chamber volumes and a more
precise interventional and postoperative
tool. RT3D transesophageal imaging may
overcome technical and image quality
limitations of transthoracic techniques.
Screening for feline hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM) using
echocardiography in all breeds and genetic
testing in Maine Coon and Ragdoll cats will
be discussed. The controversy regarding the
mutation in myosin binding protein C in
Maine Coon cats with HCM with regard to
causality and penetrance will be addressed.
Newer methods for screening for mutations
in other breeds will be discussed.
Vitamin-D deficiency increases the risk of
neoplasia and heart failure in people.
Vitamin-D compounds have antitumor
activity and potentiate cytotoxicity of
chemotherapeutics. This talk summarizes
our work investigating the association
between vitamin-D status and canine tumors
and heart failure as well as the effectiveness
of calcitriol for treatment.
Structure, function and regulation of the
microcirculation will be discussed. A
comparison of macro vs microvascular
monitoring will be explored with emphasis
on direct microcirculatory imaging
(sidestream darkfield microscopy). An
overview of uses in human medicine and
current research applications in veterinary
patients (e.g. hemorragic shock resuscitation
and heart failure) is provided.
This lecture will review the basics of
diagnosing common arrhythmias and drugs
used to treat them.Case examples will be
utilized as part of the presentataion wth the
potential for audience members to
participate generating answers to the ECG's
and potential treatment options.
