Holter Monitoring

A Holter monitor is a portable ECG device worn by a pet which will continuously record heart rate and rhythm (often for up to 24 hours). Its extended recording period is useful for detecting occasional heart rhythm disturbances (called arrhythmias) which would be difficult to identify in the shorter period of time provided by a standard ECG. Our veterinary cardiologist will use this information, together with other testing to determine the nature and severity of your pet's heart disease and create the best possible treatment plan for any arrhythmias.

WE TAKE YOUR PET’S HEALTH TO HEART.

COMPLETE CARDIOLOGY CARE FOR YOUR PET

Our cardiology service provides consultation for any patient with signs or symptoms of heart disease which includes evaluation of heart murmurs and abnormal heart rhythms. In addition, patients with symptoms of heart disease (such as cough, breathing difficulty, exercise intolerance and fainting) will be evaluated in order to devise treatment strategies to improve quality of life and longevity. Additional services include screening potential breeding dogs and cats for genetic heart defects and pre-anesthetic evaluation of cardiac patients.

Interventional procedures include temporary and permanent pacemaker implantation and correction of congenital heart defects (patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonic stenosis). Minimally invasive techniques utilizing fluoroscopy are routinely performed.

DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES INCLUDE:

Echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound)
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Holter monitoring (ambulatory ECG)
Insertable loop recorder (ILR) placement for detection of intermittent arrhythmias
Digital thoracic radiography
Angiography
Fluoroscopy
Non-invasive blood pressure measurement
