Cardiac Arrhythmias In Cats And Dogs

From the same author of "Electrocardiogram in veterinary medicine", this book presents cardiac arrhythmias in the format of illustrated and commented clinical cases so that clinicians, anesthetists, interventionists or cardiologists may be assisted to diagnose them, and even train their ability to analyze the tracings that may appear in daily practice; and all the more so, because arrhythmias may arise in associations or often, be accompanied by other findings that suggest heart diseases (such as chamber enlargement) or extra-cardiac diseases (such as pneumonias, for instance). Both synthetic and didactic, the book includes 250 selected cases, accompanied by a brief history of the patients, and even with data from clinical examinations and ancillary tests, when available. In the page following each presented case, the findings belonging to every tracing are commented. This Q&A format has the goal of leading the reader to think, practice and rationalize simultaneously about EKG, a test that provides so much information. With a friendly outline and easy to consult, this volume is supported by the use of visual indications in the figures (arrows, asterisks, lines, and so on), with the aim of drawing the reader's attention to the most significant points in each tracing, thus highlighting the electrocardiographic findings.

Electrocardiography of the Dog and Cat (2nd edition) promises to give the student and the specialist both the practical approach of the electrocardiographic diagnosis and the depth of understanding that promotes genuine learning in a subject area that has intrigued clinicians for more than a century. The combined and varied experiences of the authors give strengths to the review of the literature, and the approach to electrocardiogram interpretation in the dog and cat.

Workbook of veterinary electrocardiogram interpretation, for students and practitioners. Full-size tracings. Companion to Essentials of Canine and Feline Electrocardiography, Third Edition by the same author.

Designed to cater to veterinary specialists in cardiology, anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency medicine as well as to general practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge of the analysis and treatment of arrhythmias in dogs and cats, this book explores rhythm disorders from both clinical and pathophysiological standpoints. For a better understanding of these disorders, each chapter includes detailed information on the cardiac electroanatomy and provides comprehensive descriptions of surface, dynamic, and endocavitary electrocardiographic findings with the latest discoveries in this field. For each rhythm disorder, medical and interventional treatment guidelines are included based on the available literature and the authors’ experience. The book, organized in six sections including basic science, diagnostic therapeutic and modalities, tachycardias, bradycardias and specific diseases, will help the reader understand the mechanisms behind arrhythmias, the clinical and diagnostic algorithm of each rhythm disturbance and the therapeutic options thanks to a clear and detailed text accompanied by many images and drawings.

This completely up-to-date 3rd edition provides the latest techniques for diagnosing heart disease and respiratory conditions in the dog and cat. An exceptionally easy-to-use format covers common cardiovascular disorders and practical treatment methods for cardiac failure, cardiac arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, cardiopulmonary arrest, as well as procedures for resuscitation. Numerous reproductions of electrocardiograms, thoracic radiographs, and pressure curves are included. Five entirely new chapters reflect the latest advances in the field. Extensively revised and updated chapters. Five entirely new chapters: Systemic Hypertension, Feline Heartworm Disease, Anesthesia of the Cardiac Patient, Canine Breed Predilections for Heart Disease, and Cardiac Tumors.

*Note that the supplementary electronic material for Chapters 26-40 will be available in the Support Material tab soon* This new edition of Cardiovascular Disease in Companion Animals, authored by two leading experts in the field, now covers the horse as well as the dog and cat. The comprehensive, superbly illustrated book has been completely revised and expanded from the original Cardiovascular Disease in Small Animal Medicine. Five key sections provide clearly written overviews of normal cardiovascular structure and function, pathophysiologic derangements and their manifestations, clinical cardiology testing and interpretation, and extensive guidance for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and management. A broad collection of clinical images, graphics, tables, diagrams, and a Summary Drug Tables for each species enhances the book’s utility as a practical clinical resource. Up-to-date references support the focus on cardiovascular diseases and reflect important developments in veterinary cardiology and practice. A valuable companion website contains videos and additional images to enhance each chapter. Since first publication in 2007, Dr Ware’s authoritative yet user-friendly guide to cardiovascular diseases in veterinary practice has been widely praised. This book contains even more illustrations of the highest quality. Coverage also includes diagnostic considerations for various clinical problems, procedures and techniques for patient evaluation, and detailed management strategies for congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications of cardiovascular disease. This second edition is a must-have for veterinary practitioners, students, interns, residents, and others with an in-depth interest in veterinary cardiology.
