In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast, we interview Dr. Brian Scansen, DACVIM (Cardiology), Professor and Service Head in Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery at CSU on mitral valve disease in dogs and what we need to do. If you're in general practice and your pet owner can't afford an echocardiogram, what do you do for that dog with a heart murmur? What role do radiographs have in the management of mitral valve disease in dogs, and when should we consider starting medications in dogs with mitral valve disease in dogs? Get the low down on if compounded medications like compounded pimobendane manufactured using bulk substance is the same as Vetmedin® (pimobendan) Chewable Tablets and what’s new in the treatment of chronic valvular heart disease (CVHD) in dogs!
