Electrocardiography of Laboratory Animals, Second Edition, is the only publication covering electrocardiography of laboratory animals. With countries instituting requirements for the care of laboratory animals in research, this publication offers a standard on performing and analyzing ECGs. Topics covered include safety electrocardiography, toxicology, safety pharmacology, and telemetry, all important areas of discussion for biological and medical researchers, veterinarians, zoologists, and students who need to understand the electrocardiography of five species of animals used in research: canines, nonhuman primates, mini pigs, rodents (rats and mice), rabbits and cats.

Guide to Canine and Feline Electrocardiography offers a comprehensive and readable guide to the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms in cats and dogs. Covers all aspects of electrocardiography, from basics to advanced concepts of interest to specialists Explains how to obtain high-quality electrocardiograms Offers expert insight and guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of simple and complex arrhythmias alike Features numerous case examples, with electrocardiograms and Holter monitor recordings Shows the characteristics of normal and abnormal heart rhythms in dogs and cats Includes access to a website with self-assessment questions and the appendices and figures from the book

Cardiology for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is a comprehensive resource for veterinary technicians and nurses working with cardiovascular patients in veterinary practice. Offers a complete reference to veterinary cardiology targeted at veterinary technicians and nurses, summarizing fundamental knowledge on cardiovascular diseaseCovers dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, and camelidsProvides information ranging from introductory to advanced for a thorough guide to cardiac conditionsPresents detailed procedures for common cardiac catheterization techniques, including supplies requiredIncludes photographs and illustrations to depict the concepts described

Prefazione alla terza edizione Questa nuova edizione esce con molte modifiche e aggiornamenti, ma rimane indirizzata principalmente ai principianti, dai veterinari neo-laureati, agli studenti, infermieri e tecnici veterinari. Continua infatti a essere una introduzione di facile lettura all’elettrocardiografia.Essa include anche un’utile spiegazione degli aspetti clinici di ogni aritmia, di come il ritmo puo presentarsi all’auscultazione e di quando si può verificare deficit di polso.Per quest’edizione, ho chiesto anche ad alcuni amici e colleghi nel mondo della cardiologia di fornirmi consigli, suggerimenti e note.Tutti questi sono stati inclusi in quest’edizione e per questo vi chiedo di leggere i ringraziamenti.Qualcuno potrebbe chiedere, quali sono i cambiamenti? Il flusso generale del libro rimane inalterato, ma alcuni capitoli sono stati suddivisi per migliorarne la comprensione e la lettura. Ci sono capitoli aggiuntivi sul monitoraggio Holter e uno sui meccanismi delle tachicardie sopraventricolari, che rappresentano un nuovo sviluppo delle nostre conoscenze, incluso il loro trattamento (l’ablazione). Ci sono sezioni aggiuntive dedicate alle pause compensatorie, i complessi da fusione e il fenomeno di Ashman. La sezione dedicata al ritmo idio-ventricolare accelerato e stata incrementata, trattandosi di un’aritmia sempre piu frequentemente diagnosticata.Infine, il libro e ora a colori e questo mi auguro consenta una lettura piu piacevole. Tutti i tracciati ECG sono nuovi e riprodotti a colori. I disegni sono ora piacevolmente illustrati a colori, cosa che aumenta la loro comprensibilita.I continui riscontri positivi e la richiesta di una terza edizione mi hanno stimolato a questo. Grazie!

The most effective, practical approach to the recognition and management of cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary medicine, Manual of Canine and Feline Cardiology, 5th Edition walks readers through the challenges and conditions encountered in everyday practice. This completely revised and updated edition includes vital information on diagnostic modalities and techniques, therapeutic options, surgical procedures, and pharmaceutical management of the dog and cat cardiac patient. A new chapter on genetic and biomarker testing and a new chapter on nutrition surrounding cardiovascular disease ensure practitioners are well-equipped to handle every aspect of cardiac care in small animals.

Feline Cardiology is the first book dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in cats. Designed for use in clinical practice, this reference combines cutting-edge information with practical applications, using a consistent format for ease of use. Feline Cardiology provides detailed, species-specific information that is absent from other texts, with an emphasis on the most commonly encountered feline cardiovascular diseases. Drawing on the expertise of four internationally recognized authors, the book is packed with state-of-the-art information within the framework of daily practice. Coverage ranges from basic and advanced treatment approaches for cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, and many other disorders to the newest information on genetic testing, circulating markers of heart disease, and more. Feline Cardiology provides a comprehensive single resource to managing cardiovascular disease in cats and is a welcome addition to any small animal practice library.

The softcover edition of this comprehensive and superbly illustrated book contains key updates to the text and references focused on common cardiovascular diseases and their management, including therapy for congestive heart failure and arrhythmias, reflecting the main developments in cardiology and in practice. Since publication Dr Ware's authoritative yet user friendly guide to cardiovascular diseases and disorders in the dog and cat has been widely praised. It is richly illustrated throughout by clinical colour photos, imaging and diagrams of the highest quality. Coverage includes evaluation techniques, investigative procedures, diagnosis, medical and surgical management options and methods.

"Cardiology of the Horse" is a multi-author, contemporary reference on equine cardiology. The first section reviews the physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology of the equine cardiovascular system. The second section describes diagnostic methods from basic to specialist examination skills and the third section addresses the investigation and management of common clinical problems using a problem-orientated approach. It is suitable for students, general and specialist practitioners and teachers.

Lo scopo di questo volume è quello di offrire uno strumento teorico-pratico per l'interpretazione dell'elettrocardiogramma nel cane e nel gatto. Questo libro rappresenta il primo approccio all'elettrocardiografia veterinaria supportato dall'analisi delle aritmie attraverso lo studio elettrofisiologico. Con l'ausilio di questa metodica gli autori hanno potuto definire l'esatta apparizione elettrocardiografica dei principali disturbi del ritmo del cane e del gatto, formulare algoritmi diagnostici specifici per questi animali e semplificare una materia complessa rendendola più accessibile. Il libro è rivolto ai medici veterinari, agli studenti, agli specialisti in cardiologia e anestesiologia e a tutti coloro che quotidianamente devono analizzare monitoraggi elettrocardiografici nella pratica clinica e ambulatoriale.
