Summary

Feline Cardiology is the first book dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in cats. Designed for use in clinical practice, this reference combines cutting-edge information with practical applications, with a consistent format for ease of use. Emphasizing the most commonly encountered feline cardiovascular diseases, Feline Cardiology provides detailed, species-specific information that is absent from other texts. Drawing on the expertise of four internationally recognized authors, the book is packed with state-of-the-art information within the framework of daily practice. Grounded in the realities of clinical practice throughout, coverage ranges from the newest information on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and genetic testing to basic and advanced treatment approaches for cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and many more disorders. Feline Cardiology provides a comprehensive single resource to managing cardiovascular disease in cats and is a welcome addition to any small animal practice library.
