Compassionate Collaborative Care - Improving Medical Outcomes

Specialist Guidance You Can Trust

Supporting General Practice, Emergency, and Specialty Veterinary Teams

Heart murmurs. Coughing patients. Arrhythmias. When is it time to bring in a cardiologist?

At DVM STAT, our board-certified veterinary cardiologists are available on demand to review your cardiac cases and provide expert, timely guidance — from initial evaluation to treatment planning, client communication and case follow-up.

Whether you're monitoring a stable murmur or preparing a patient for anesthesia, we help you make confident decisions with accurate, case-specific cardiology support.

When to Request a Veterinary Cardiology Consultation

DVM STAT cardiologists assist with a wide range of cardiac concerns, including:

  • New or changing heart murmurs

  • Coughing or respiratory signs

  • Arrhythmia evaluation and ECG interpretation

  • Pre-anesthetic cardiac screening

  • Radiographic evidence of cardiomegaly or pulmonary changes

Have a case where you’re not sure what’s next? That’s the perfect time to consult.

Collaborative Cardiology Care Improves Outcomes

  • Evaluation of patient history, medication, radiographs, blood pressure ± ECG. Receive a detailed diagnosis, treatment plan and follow-up recommendations. A brief recheck consult within 21 days is included. Collaborative care - every time.

  • Need to review a rhythm strip or get clearance before anesthesia? Submit a stand-alone ECG for rapid evaluation. Our cardiologists can help you determine clinical relevance, risk, and next steps.

  • Our specialists provide a comprehensive consult with every echocardiogram, helping you interpret findings and determine next steps.

“...Assess the effects of in-person collaborative care by primary care veterinarians and board-certified veterinary cardiologists on survival time of dogs after onset of congestive heart failure (CHF)...
Dogs that received collaborative care had a longer median survival time than did dogs that received care from the primary care DVM alone.”
