Learning Outcomes

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Develop a clear and logical approach to dogs and cats presented with cardiorespiratory problems
  • Broaden your knowledge base in small animal cardiorespiratory medicine
  • Gain a greater understanding of key diagnostic modalities such as radiography, electrocardiography, and echocardiography, enabling you to diagnose diseases more accurately
  • Improve your productivity through more expedient diagnoses
  • Improve the value of the service you provide to your clients
  • Gain confidence in your general approach to small animal cardiorespiratory cases

Modules

  1. Normal cardiorespiratory anatomy and physiology, history and physical exam. Case studies will focus on decision-making and shortlisting based on history and physical exam. 
  2. Radiology of the cardiorespiratory system. Case studies will focus on common problems (coughing, dyspnea) where radiology is a key diagnostic tool. 
  3. Electrocardiography. Case studies will focus on common problems (arrythmia, syncope, exercise intolerance) where electrocardiography is a key diagnostic tool.
  4. Echocardiography. Case studies will focus on common problems (murmur work-up) where echocardiography is a key diagnostic tool. 
  5. Cardiorespiratory therapy. Case studies will focus on common treatment strategies (heart failure, anti-arrythmic therapy). 
  6. Respiratory diseases. Case studies will focus on common problems (sneezing, stertor and stridor, nasal discharge, coughing) of animals presented with primary airway disease. 
  7. Myxomatous mitral valve disease and canine cardiomyopathies. Case studies will focus on different stages of valvular diseases and cardiomyopathies. 
  8. Feline cardiac disease. Case studies will focus on common presentations of cats with heart disease (murmur, heart failure, saddle thrombus).
  9. Congenital heart disease. Case studies will focus on the more common congenital heart diseases and their symptoms (murmur, cyanosis). 
  10. Systemic arterial hypertension, pericardial disease, and heartworm disease. Case studies will focus on common presentations of animals with these diseases.
