Pet Cardiology consultations with echocardiogram
Pet Cardiology Consultations with Echocardiogram
At Vets On The Hudson, we provide specialized pet cardiology consultations, including on-site echocardiograms, to help diagnose and manage heart conditions in dogs and cats. Our goal is to deliver clear answers, compassionate care, and practical treatment plans tailored to each patient.
What Is an Echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart that allows us to evaluate:
-
Heart structure and chamber size
-
Heart muscle function
-
Valve movement and integrity
-
Blood flow patterns
This advanced imaging is one of the most accurate tools for diagnosing heart disease in pets.

-
Heart murmurs
-
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
-
Congestive heart failure

Suspected cardiomyopathy
