Feline Cardiology is the
first book dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in
cats. Designed for use in clinical practice, this reference combines
cutting-edge information with practical applications, using a consistent
format for ease of use.
Feline Cardiology provides detailed,
species-specific information that is absent from other texts, with an
emphasis on the most commonly encountered feline cardiovascular
diseases.
Drawing on the expertise of four internationally recognized authors, the
book is packed with state-of-the-art information within the framework
of daily practice. Coverage ranges from basic and advanced treatment
approaches for cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and many other disorders
to the newest information on genetic testing, circulating markers of
heart disease, and more. Feline Cardiology provides a
comprehensive single resource to managing cardiovascular disease in cats
and is a welcome addition to any small animal practice library.
