Cardio Fun
Today I was on cardiology and helped with three cases.
One was a re-check congestive heart failure case, another was a puppy with aortic stenosis, the third was a puppy with ventricular tachycardia.
We did an electrocardiogram (ECG) on the heart failure case -- it seemed to be doing well, all things considered.
Dr. Sisson did an echocardiogram with color-flow doppler on the aortic stenosis puppy as it made unreal, cat/squarking noises. The puppy had narrowed nostrils and probably a hypoplastic trachea -- hence the un-dog-like noises which elicited the labels of "exorcist dog" and "gremlin" from persons present.
We did an ECG on the V-tach puppy. The referring vet was right on the money with his diagnosis -- a few ventricular premature contractions for every normal beat.
