Cardiac Teleconsulting Service for Veterinarians

Primary veterinarians are just as important as patients to the Cardiac Vet team. They are the first line of defense at suspecting a cardiac problem. The Cardiac Vet team would like to assist rDVMs in confirming their suspicion of heart disease by offering a Teleconsulting Service for interpretation of echocardiograms, ECGs, thoracic radiographs, Holters and event monitors. This service is not just limited to California but is available for all veterinarians and hospitals across the country and internationally.
