Clinical Echocardiography Of The Dog And Cat Pdf

By Claudio Bussadori, Eric de Madron, and Val Chetboul

Clinical Echocardiography of the Dog and Cat is a comprehensive clinical reference covering both classical echocardiographic modalities and advanced imaging techniques used in canine and feline cardiology. The book provides clear guidance on how echocardiography is applied to assess, diagnose, and manage heart disease in dogs and cats within everyday clinical practice.

Using a practical, case-oriented approach, the authors demonstrate how echocardiographic images are acquired, interpreted, and correlated with specific cardiac disorders to support effective patient management. The print edition is supported by a companion website featuring instructional videos that illustrate cardiac ultrasound examinations and procedures. Written by leading veterinary cardiology specialists and echocardiographers Eric de Madron, Valerie Chetboul, and Claudio Bussadori, this resource is suitable for general practitioners as well as specialists in veterinary cardiology and diagnostic imaging.

  • Dedicated coverage of canine and feline echocardiography, with in-depth discussion of cardiac ultrasound techniques including Tissue Doppler imaging, speckle tracking, transesophageal, and three-dimensional echocardiography.
  • A practical clinical focus demonstrating how echocardiographic modalities are applied in routine diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of heart disease rather than being limited to research use.
  • Integrated book and companion website providing a cohesive learning resource that combines classical echocardiographic methods with newer techniques and updated reference values.
  • Companion website with instructional videos illustrating echocardiographic procedures and key diagnostic findings such as abnormal blood flow patterns, pericardial effusion, and intracardiac masses.
  • Presurgical assessment guidance to support risk evaluation and preparation for catheter-based correction of cardiac defects, emphasizing accurate measurement and device selection.
  • Extensive visual material including over 400 full-color illustrations and 42 summary tables to support precise image interpretation and correlation with normal and pathological cardiac anatomy.
