Cardiology<\/h2>\n

Cardiology deals with all diseases related to the hearts of dogs and cats. Specialized veterinarians are available to provide your pet with an intensive clinical examination. Based on auscultation and palpation findings, further diagnostic steps are planned and discussed with you. <\/p>\n

In our clinic, in addition to blood pressure measurements (non-invasive), electrocardiography (computer ECG), and 24-hour long-term ECG (Holter), we also perform X-ray examinations. However, the core examination of a cardiological workup is echocardiography (heart ultrasound). With the help of a highly specialized ultrasound device (Vivid-iq) including continuous, pulsed wave, and color Doppler, the heart can be examined precisely. Following the examinations, a diagnosis is made and, if necessary, subsequent medical treatment is initiated. We are also happy to support you and your four-legged friend throughout the further course of treatment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”777″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1664890415552{margin-bottom: 10px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1664890422645{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1772024234592{margin-top: -100px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.93) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=””]<\/p>\n
