Cardiology
Through Expert Medical Management
and Advanced Imaging Techniques,
our Board-certified Cardiologist can be a Critical Component of Your Pet’s Total Health Care Team
Here at the Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center our Board-certified Cardiologist, Dr. Shianne Koplitz, PhD, DACVIM (Cardiology), will help diagnose and treat your pet through a series of cardiac tests. Each test is designed to provide the cardiac specialist with specific information about your pet's heart health.
There are a wide variety of heart diseases in animals ranging from "holes" in the heart to leaky valves to weak heart muscles.
Heart disease is usually broken down into two large categories:
Congenital heart diseases are cardiac abnormalities that your pet has been born with.
Acquired heart diseases are absent at birth, but develop as your pet grows older.
WVRC can diagnose and treat both of these conditions to help improve your pet's quality of life.
