Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Vets understand that the cornerstone of treatment for congestive heart failure in animals is the use of loop diuretics, such as furosemide. But resistance occurs in all patients over time, and intensification of diuretic treatment is a vital part of managing patients with clinical signs - both for left- and right-sided manifestations of disease. How are we best to approach this, and what can we do when using diuretic drugs to make the best decisions that wil...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.As veterinary cardiologists, we rely on ultrasound every day to assess cardiac structure and function. Whilst important for owners to understand the cause of a murmur or clinical signs, we use echo to make critical decisions about when and how to treat, and inform conversations with owners about prognosis. The impact of echo on the lives of our patients is greater than anything else we do. But it may not be as accurate as you think... Learn how to best use e...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Horses are highly evolved athletes, with mind-bending changes to the cardiovascular system achieved during exercise. How does the spectrum of heart disease compare to that seen in dogs and cats? Join our hosts, Jose and Kieran, as they enjoy a rapid-fire review of equine cardiac disorders with Prof Colin Schwarzwald, director of the Clinic of Equine Internal Medicine at the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects 1 in 7 cats overall, and has huge implications for feline health and wellbeing across the globe. Strategies to detect early disease are fundamentally important to both pet owners and cat breeders, so that individual animals and the wider breed can be cared for as needed. Screening for HCM in apparently healthy cats has become a hot topic, and who could be better to join Jose and Kieran for a discussion on that subjec...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Dilated cardiomyopathy is one of the most challenging diseases in veterinary cardiology. Early detection is key to maximising benefit for individual dogs, but clinical signs are lacking and physical exam may be unremarkable. Adding to this, echocardiographic diagnosis may be subtle, or changes may be caused by a an underlying disease process which is reversible or self-limiting, rather than a primary myocardial disease itself. Prof Sonya Gordon, from Texas A...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.We all learned about the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in school... Or did we? This fantastic, in-depth interview on our current understanding of the RAAS will provide a revolutionary new perspective on how we may be able to harness the maladaptive systems that are activated in heart failure for positive purposes in our patients. Join Jose and Kieran as The Animal Heartbeat welcomes Professor Marisa Ames, Board-certified veterinary cardiologist and ex...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Over the last year, research data has indicated some potential hope for anti-hypertrophic drug use in feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this episode, Prof Joshua Stern, Associate Dean of Research at NC State University and current President of the ACVIM Cardiology Specialty, joins Jose and Kieran to review our most recent understanding of some exciting approaches which may completely change how we think about feline cardiomyopathy in the coming 5-years.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.What do you understand by clinical research? What makes a good research study, and what limitations are common in veterinary publications? How should clinical research work impact what we do as clinicians? In this episode, hosts Kieran and Jose interview Professor Adrian Boswood, Vice Principal at the Royal Veterinary College and active clinician-researcher in cardiology. Adrian has spearheaded a number of game-changing clinical works over the last thr...

Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Christmas Day! As the roast dinner is cooking and the Prosecco is being chilled, join Jose and Kieran as they finalise their choice for top heart disease of 2023. Make sure to listen to the end for "The 12 Heart Diseases of Christmas" song in full!
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Christmas Eve. As Father Christmas readies the reindeer, what better way to prepare for festivities than discussing our favourite 12 heart diseases of Christmas? Join Kieran and Jose as they review their top heart disease facts and begin the process of selecting their favourite heart disease of 2023.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Recorded live at ECVIM Congress in 2023, this very special season finale see Kieran and Jose interview six incredible veterinary cardiology Diplomates from across the globe. Prof Roberto Santilli (Cornell / Malpensa) discusses his work on atrial depolarisation waves in SVT; David Connolly (RVC) considers the next generation of drugs to treat HCM in cats; Michele Borgarelli (Virginia Maryland) reviews his unique LOOK-Mitral registry data; Tony Glaus (Zu...
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Dilated cardiomyopathy is a common disease in dogs, which is almost uniquely difficult to diagnose in the early stages. In this episode, Kieran and Jose interview Prof Gerhard Wess, a clinician and researcher who leads the cardiology department at the LMU University of Munich, Germany. Prof Wess brings his extensive, decades-spanning experience of diagnosing and managing DCM to the podcast and shares his advice on how best to assess potential cases.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.In the first of our special guest episodes, Professor Virginia Luis Fuentes from the Royal Veterinary College, London, joins Kieran and Jose to talk about treating cardiomyopathy in cats - beyond furosemide and clopidogrel. Listen in as Prof Luis Fuentes, a world-renowned expert and thought leader in feline heart disease, describes how she approaches a variety of treatment situations in cats, and the current thinking in human and feline medicine.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Pulmonary hypertension is a common complicating factor of heart disease in dogs, but is a cardiovascular disorder in its own right, associated with a number of primary disease processes. In this episode, Jose and Kieran discuss the diagnosis, causes and management of pulmonary hypertension in dogs.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.In the second part of their discussion on mitral valve disease prognostic indicators, Jose and Kieran talk about what echo measurements provide the most useful assessment of prognosis in stage B disease, consider whether there is a place for using cardiac biomarkers in monitoring pre-clinical dogs, and review the recent literature covering how best to predict progression in pre-clinical dogs.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Mitral valve disease in dogs is the most common disorder encountered in veterinary cardiology. In this episode, Kieran and Jose discuss what factors could predict those dogs which are more likely to progress, what tests could be used to assess dogs with stage B mitral valve disease in primary care practice, and why the assessment of regurgitant fraction on echo may be important in decision making.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Jose and Kieran discuss heart murmurs in juvenile dogs. What findings make a heart murmur less likely to be pathological, and are there any ways of identifying young dogs with the most significant heart disease in primary care practice? What about those puppies with complex congenital disease that is not associated with an obvious heart murmur - can we identify where an echo may be useful in unexpected cases?
1Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Join Kieran and Jose in the second part of a special series-opener on the topic of feline cardiology, focusing on echocardiographic findings in cats with cardiomyopathy. Here, we delve into the topic of differentials for left ventricular hypertrophy (so-called phenocopies of HCM), prognostic factors associated with morphology, and when to intervene in pre-clinical cats with a hypertrophic phenotype.
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.Join veterinary cardiology specialists, Kieran Borgeat and Jose Novo Matos, in a discussion of feline heart disease. This is the first of a two-part series opening special, covering how to approach heart murmurs in cats, when it may be useful to use blood tests in screening, and how to facilitate performing a heart scan in feline patients.
