In this issue of Veterinary Clinics: Small Animal Practice, guest editor Dr. Joshua Stern brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Advancements in Companion Animal Cardiology. Cardiovascular disease of companion animals has seen a boom in research productivity and novel therapies that make the future of cardiac care very bright. In this issue, top experts highlight advances in diagnosis and treatment for common cardiac diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral valve degeneration, and dilated cardiomyopathy.
Contains 12 relevant, practice-oriented topics including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: advances in imaging and diagnostic strategies; the genetics of canine pulmonary valve stenosis; mitral valve repair: surgical outcomes and the rise of interventional options; the role of personalized medicine in companion animal cardiology; the role of point-of-care thoracic ultrasound in managing cardiac emergencies; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on advancements in companion animal cardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
