Cardiology

A variety of cardiovascular conditions and diseases can affect veterinary patients including heart failure, valve problems, and high blood pressure.

Cardiology services are provided by the University of California Veterinary Medical Center – San Diego (UCVMC-SD)

This is a satellite facility of the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Please call UC DAVIS at 858-875-7505 for additional information and to schedule a consultation.


UC Davis cardiologists provide compassionate, expert care to pets with heart conditions. Services include comprehensive diagnosis and management of all types of cardiovascular problems, including congenital and acquired heart diseases, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and much more.

While some cardiac conditions may be serious, many heart diseases are manageable on an outpatient basis and allow for a good quality of life. Early diagnosis and effective treatment will increase your pet’s opportunity to live a normal life.

Pets that exhibit any of the following symptoms may benefit from a cardiac evaluation:
  • Heart murmur
  • Shortness of breath or breathing problems
  • Chronic cough
  • Heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Congenital heart defects
  • Fainting
  • Fluid accumulation in the chest or abdomen
  • Exercise intolerance

Pets at risk for anesthesia may also be evaluated by the cardiologist to develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
