Just as in people, dogs and cats can also suffer from conditions affecting the heart and lungs. Early detection is essential for proper monitoring and quality of life.
As in humans, dogs and cats can develop diseases related to the heart and lungs. Veterinary Cardiology is the branch of medicine that studies, diagnoses, and treats diseases of the canine and feline cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels.
The most common conditions include valvular insufficiency, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Due to the close relationship between the cardiovascular system and the lungs, this specialty also covers conditions affecting the respiratory system and the thoracic cavity.
