Pittsburgh Veterinary Cardiology

We provide in-house bloodwork, including CBC (Complete Blood Count) and chemistry panels, to monitor organ function and side effects of cardiac medications. This ensures close monitoring of your pet’s health during long-term care.

We utilize digital radiography (X-rays) to assess the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, particularly for detecting fluid buildup (e.g., congestive heart failure) or airway diseases. Digital X-rays allow for instant results, enabling faster communication with your primary care veterinarian.

We provide advanced ultrasound imaging, including echocardiography (heart ultrasound), to diagnose and monitor cardiac conditions, structural abnormalities, and other internal organ issues. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures precise imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

We offer blood pressure monitoring using Doppler systems for precise measurements of systolic blood pressure in pets. This non-invasive procedure helps guide medication choices and monitor cardiac health, ensuring optimal care for conditions like heart disease.

Our clinic provides emergency stabilization for pets with acute cardiac issues, ensuring rapid intervention to improve outcomes and quality of life.

We offer hospitalization and 24-hour monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, including those undergoing advanced cardiac procedures or needing stabilization for chronic conditions.

We administer oxygen therapy to support pets with respiratory distress or heart-related conditions, ensuring optimal oxygenation during critical care.

We provide IV fluid therapy to manage hydration, blood pressure, and organ function in pets with cardiac or systemic illnesses requiring intensive support.

While primarily a cardiology-focused clinic, we integrate pain management strategies for pets undergoing procedures like balloon valvuloplasty or other interventions to ensure comfort and recovery.
