Preface
The extensive use of visual images is a core feature of
this book. Over 570 figures and 65 summary tables
are used to illustrate various cardiovascular disease
conditions and key concepts. The opportunity to
write such a richly illustrated book is what drew me
to this project. Over twenty years of teaching
veterinary students and interacting with veterinary
practitioners has convinced me of the importance of
visual learning. Most of the images were collected in
the course of my practice at the University Veterinary
Teaching Hospital. Others are reproduced here with
the kind permission of my colleagues and various
publishers. I have included multiple graphical
examples for a number of important disease
conditions in order to reflect some of the variability in
clinical appearance that occurs.
My goal was to create a practical clinical
reference that would also provide a broad overview of
small animal cardiovascular medicine. In writing the
text, I have tried to summarize concisely important
information about various cardiovascular diseases,
the clinical tools used to assess the cardiovascular
system, and approaches to disease management. This
book was written primarily for veterinary general
practitioners and students, although veterinary
technicians and others should find it useful as well.
The book is organized into three sections. The
initial chapters (15) review the normal
cardiovascular system and common methods used for
cardiac evaluation. Chapters 617 contain overviews
of common clinical problems, approaches to
differentiating these clinical manifestations of disease,
and management of heart failure and arrhythmias.
Finally, more detailed information about specific
cardiovascular diseases is organized anatomically in
chapters 1825. The danger in this organizational
structure is the potential for excessive repetition. I
have tried to minimize redundancy by crossreferencing among the various chapters. As a
consequence, it may be necessary to turn to a different
