Cardiology
The cardiology department offers the best care for your pet. The cardiac pathologies of our pets are at the heart of this discipline.
The team, made up of a European specialist, a resident and a specialized intern, all passionate about their work, welcomes you 3 days a week for consultations and works closely with theurgences and intensive care departments to provide the best care for your pets. We also carry out screenings for congenital and acquired heart disease common in our pets. Our state-of-the-art equipment enables us to diagnose your pet's condition as accurately as possible, and propose the most appropriate treatment. We contribute to the training of students who attend our consultations and examinations. We also play an active role in clinical research, helping to improve knowledge in our field.
Making a diagnosis
Your pet's care begins with a consultation, during which we discuss the reason for the animal's visit and the various symptoms it is presenting. A clinical examination is then carried out, paying particular attention to your pet's auscultation. Measuring blood pressure may also be part of the clinical examination. The clinician then discusses with the owner any additional tests to be performed.
More in-depth investigations such as angioscanner, angiography or invasive pressure measurements may sometimes be required. These more advanced examinations require general anesthesia.
Suggesting treatment
Some cardiac pathologies pose no problem and do not require treatment. Others, on the other hand, are more serious and require appropriate medical treatment, often for long periods. The cardiology consultation and the performance of various complementary tests enable the cardiologist to best adapt your pet's treatment.
Interventional cardiology
In certain cardiac pathologies, a minimally invasive procedure can be performed to correct or improve an existing anomaly. This is the case for persistent ductus arteriosus, which can be treated surgically or by catheterization with an ACDO. Pulmonary stenosis can be treated with balloon valvuloplasty. Finally, certain rhythm disorders can be treated with pacemakers or electrical cardioversion. All these procedures can be performed by our team.
