What is an Echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound examination of your pet’s heart. This advanced diagnostic tool allows our veterinary cardiologists to visualize the heart’s structure, assess its function, and detect potential abnormalities in real-time.
Why Your Pet May Need an Echocardiogram
Heart Murmur Detection
If your veterinarian has detected a heart murmur during examination, an echocardiogram can determine its cause and severity.
Breed Predisposition
Certain breeds are prone to cardiac conditions. Regular screening helps catch issues early when they’re most treatable.
Respiratory Symptoms
Persistent coughing, difficulty breathing, or exercise intolerance may indicate underlying heart disease.
Pre-Anesthetic Screening
Evaluating heart function before surgery ensures your pet’s safety during anesthesia and procedures.
