Healthy Heart, Strong Life
Early Detection of Heart Disease
Heart disease in dogs and cats often develops gradually and may remain unnoticed for a long time.
A targeted cardiology examination helps detect changes at an early stage and allows timely treatment. This can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life and often extend it as well.
Comprehensive Cardiac Diagnostics
For a reliable assessment of heart health, we combine several modern diagnostic methods:
- Cardiac auscultation
- Echocardiography
- X-ray examination
- ECG (electrocardiogram)
- Blood pressure measurement
This combination allows both structural abnormalities and functional disorders to be detected reliably.
Echocardiography – Detailed Insights into the Heart
Echocardiography for Dogs and Cats
Cardiac ultrasound is a gentle and painless examination used to assess heart health in dogs and cats. Modern ultrasound technology allows us to evaluate heart size, heart muscle function, heart valves and pumping performance in real time.
The examination is performed in a calm and low-stress environment. In most cases, neither sedation nor anaesthesia is required, allowing your pet to undergo the procedure comfortably and safely.
Heart disease in cats can remain unnoticed for a long time. Echocardiography enables early diagnosis and timely treatment.
By accurately assessing heart function, we can detect disease early, monitor disease progression and tailor treatment to your pet’s individual needs, helping to ensure a longer and healthier life.
Thoracic X-Ray
Cardiac X-Ray for Dogs and Cats
Thoracic radiography is an important diagnostic tool for assessing the heart and lungs. It provides valuable information about heart size, heart shape and changes within the chest that may indicate cardiac or pulmonary disease.
The examination is quick and painless. Modern digital X-ray systems provide high-resolution images within seconds and allow immediate evaluation.
In patients with heart disease, thoracic X-rays complement echocardiography perfectly. While ultrasound evaluates heart function and heart valves, X-rays reveal the effects of heart disease on heart size and lung health.
ECG and Blood Pressure Monitoring – Important Additional Tools
ECG is primarily used to detect cardiac arrhythmias by measuring the heart’s electrical activity in a painless manner.
Blood pressure monitoring is especially important in older pets, as high blood pressure often remains undetected and can damage organs such as the eyes and kidneys.
Both examinations are quick to perform and provide valuable information for further treatment.
