Is it just an innocent murmur? Congenital Heart Disease in Puppies and Kittens & Cats (for Nurses)

Heart murmurs in young puppies and kittens are often managed incorrectly. We know that a delay in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease can mean incorrect treatments and cause a major impact on longer term prognosis. This webinar will help guide the veterinary team through the assessment, management and prognosis of commonly encountered congenital heart diseases with plenty of practical tips and tricks for improving your knowledge on the subject. It also aims to give delegates confidence when discussing these congenital conditions with owners and colleagues.

Learning Objectives:

  • How to identify animals that may have congenital heart disease
  • Understand the most appropriate tests and how to perform these well in young animals
  • Improve ability to detect and understand the significance of a murmur
  • Prognosis and treatment options available for the common congenital heart conditions seen

Cardiac Emergencies (for Nurses)
Cardiac emergencies require urgent attention, and delay of treatment to these patients may cause fatalities. Understanding how the condition will affect the patient is key to understanding treatment efficacy and the importance of the nurse’s role within the management of these patients. This webinar will take an in-depth look at emergency management and treatment of common cardiac emergencies that present to the ER. Specific topics will include congestive heart failure, arrhythmia's, and pericardial effusion. During this one-hour session, top tips and deeper understanding of pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, treatment and nursing considerations will be addressed. A comprehensive focus on ECG interpretation and introduction to ultrasound techniques through case studies will help the nurse with case management.
