What Does a Veterinary Cardiologist Do?
Just like in human medicine, some health concerns require a specialist’s expertise. Veterinary cardiologists focus exclusively on diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and lungs in pets. These conditions can range from heart murmurs and arrhythmias to congestive heart failure and congenital heart defects.
If your primary care veterinarian suspects a heart-related issue, they may recommend a referral to a board-certified veterinary cardiologist for advanced diagnostics and specialized treatment planning.
Advanced Cardiac Services for West Palm Beach Pets
Using state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Carpenter performs a wide range of noninvasive cardiovascular evaluations to assess your pet’s heart function, blood flow, and overall health. Once a diagnosis is made, a personalized treatment plan is created to help your pet thrive, even with complex heart conditions. Available cardiology services include:
-
Comprehensive cardiovascular physical exams
-
Echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart)
-
Electrocardiography (ECG)
-
Thoracic radiographs (chest X-rays)
-
Blood pressure monitoring
-
Diagnosis of congenital or acquired heart disease
-
Long-term management plans for chronic conditions
-
Canine Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER)
Every patient receives a tailored treatment plan and close follow-up to ensure continuity of care. Your primary veterinarian remains an essential part of the process, and Dr. Carpenter communicates directly with them to share findings, reports, and updates to your pet’s cardiac care.
