Cardiac Evaluations
Our digital ultrasound machine helps our doctors assess cardiac function and manage heart disease in our patients. Heart ultrasounds, or echocardiograms, allow us to view and measure the heart muscles and major cardiac vessels. Echocardiograms and chest X-rays play a major role in helping us determine how well your pet’s heart is functioning.
Electrocardiograms (EKG)
An EKG is a procedure that measures the electrical activity of your pet’s heart. It can be essential in the proper diagnosis of many different heart problems, and is also useful in general health screenings, particularly for our senior patients and pets having anesthetic procedures.
