This guide focuses on canine cardiology diagnostics, beginning with recognising cardiac patients through thorough triage and auscultation techniques. It emphasises building evidence via diagnostics such as ECG, radiography, and advanced testing. Finally, it integrates findings into practice by comparing diagnostic pathways for MMVD and DCM, utilising decision trees for symptoms like dyspnoea and syncope, and applying clinical insights for prioritising next steps.
