Three typical cardiology cases with emphasis on auscultation, cardiac examination, thoracic radiography and ECG. Videos of exam techniques, ECG and radiographic interpretation.
The electronic reference section serves as the learning resource for the module (hyper-linked throughout the cases for quick access), also continues to be a valuable tool for everyday practice reference and refreshment.
This program contains 5+ hours of tuition and as it is case based will be particularly useful for candidates sitting the RCVS Cardiology certificate.

CONTENT DETAILS
This is the first in a series of three programs on small animal cardiology for the practicing veterinarian. It is introductory in nature as it contains many basics that are required to practice excellent small animal cardiology. As such, it is a tremendous review for the practitioner who wishes to polish their existing skills AND it contains valuable sections from which technicians and nurses can learn.
Three cases on typical cardiology presentations are included. You will learn anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and practical case management by interaction with the expert authors as the cases evolve.
Specifically, you will reinforce your skills in diagnosis of cardiac cases by learning the key elements involved in cardiac auscultation, electrocardiography and thoracic radiography.
You will interact with the clinical presentation of each case and develop problem lists and lists of differential diagnoses and receive feedback on the development of reasonable and cost effective diagnostic plans.
Cardiac auscultation is a key feature in this program and the reference library contains many of the common normal and abnormal heart sounds which you can play over and over again to train your ear. You can see graphic representations of the murmurs while you listen to them, which helps you identify the exact timing of each sound.
Videos of Dr. Larry Tilley will reinforce the fundamentals of a full cardiac examination and the basic approach to interpreting an electrocardiogram and chest film.
Animations are used to explain some of the more difficult concepts (such as mean electrical axis) so that they stick with you.
A focus is placed on degenerative valvular disease being the most common cardiac presentation seen in small animal cardiology.
