Veterinary cardiology is the diagnosis and management of heart disease in dogs and cats. Heart murmurs, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and congenital conditions all require specialist evaluation. The timing of medication — particularly pimobendan — is highly stage-dependent, and starting too early or too late has meaningful consequences for your pet's lifespan and quality of life.

In-person specialist vs PawPinion
Heart murmur grading and medication timing are nuanced — starting or delaying cardiac medications at the wrong stage has long-term consequences. Accurate echocardiographic measurement of heart chamber size is the key variable that determines treatment initiation under ACVIM consensus guidelines, and this requires specialist-level interpretation.
