Vetnews June 2019: Echocardiography for the General Practitioner – Part 3

Introduction

Part one of the series (May 2016) introduced the general practitioner to the technique of performing a basic echocardiogram. Part two (August 2016) focused on the echocardiographic appearance of common cardiac conditions in small animal practice and making some important measurements. Building on this knowledge and the skills and principles learnt, part three briefly presents actual cases with emphasis on relevant echocardiographic findings to further demonstrate its usefulness in general practice.
