This is the first book to adequately explain cardiology in its
basic form in veterinary nursing, offering a condensed and coherent
book that stands out from more expensive, less practical
competitors. It keeps the information in a context that nurses are
able to understand and apply, without intimidation. Around 10% of
dogs in general practice have a diagnosis of heart disease and
roughly 15% of the cat population are affected by cardiac disease.
Recent data suggests that almost a third of cats over the age of
nine years have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whilst nearly two
thirds of cats will have a heart murmur at this age. These figures
show the relatively common occurrence of heart disease in small
animals - yet there is little focus on cardiology in the veterinary
nursing syllabus and in general nursing textbooks. This book aims
to change that. Suitable for both student and qualified nurses.
Presentation of dogs or cats with heart disease varies from
asymptomatic to life threatening heart failure, or in cats, with
additional complications such as arterial thromboembolism. It is
vital that nurses understand how to look after these patients
appropriately, to provide gold standard care when nursing dyspnoeic
and difficult patients, and support owners through what can often
be challenging times. This book ticks all those boxes.
