Have you ever been unsettled by finding a loud heart murmur in a puppy at routine vaccination? Or felt out of your comfort zone when planning anaesthesia for neutering a patient with a diagnosis of congenital heart disease? Although uncommon, when we make a diagnosis of congenital heart disease in our patients, a knowledge of the pathophysiology and the impact on the patient are vital to manage them as best we can.
In this seven-part learning series with Kieran Borgeat, you’ll gain a practical framework to support decision-making across a spectrum of congenital heart diseases in dogs and cats. It covers everything from auscultation considerations and in-practice risk assessment to management options.
