Differentiation of Cardiac and Respiratory
Disease in the Dog
The differentiation of signs of cardiac and respiratory disease
remains a challenge to veterinary practitioners. Therapeutic efforts
are markedly compromised when this distinction is not correctly
made. This presentation will provide practical methods for this
differentiation against a back-drop of a clinical presentation of a
coughing dog with a heart murmur.

Management of Cardiovascular Disease: New
Drugs and New Approaches
After a clinically relevant and brief review of pathophysiology, a
practical discussion of the management of heart failure will follow,
with emphasis on: when to initiate, renal safety, and comparative
aspects of ACE inhibitors; new and safer use of digoxin; new
concepts in diuretic therapy; vasodilators in the emergency room;
Beta blockers in heart failure; new inodilator and neurohormonal
therapies; and nutraceuticals.

Diagnosis and Management of Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy
Feline heart diseases will be discussed with an emphasis on
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common heart disease in cats.
The comparative frequency and differentiation of feline heart
diseases will be provided. After a clinically applicable review of
the pathophysiology of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, methods
of diagnosis, and a comparison of the treatment modalities will be
presented. Discussion will also include prognosis for HCM,
prevention of saddle thrombi, and diagnostic pitfalls and their
avoidance. The emerging diseases, restrictive cardiomyopathy and
endomyocarditis, are often confusing. These conditions will be
briefly discussed. Learn what may be cause of unexpected anesthetic
death in young cats in your practice and how to protect yourself.
Finally a differential diagnostic approach to cardiorespiratory
disease in cats will be presented.
