Cardiology 3

3 - 7 December 2025 | Bangkok, Thailand

General Overview

This veterinary course is designed to give the practitioner a basic understanding of small animal echocardiography. Major topics include ultrasound principles, normal cardiac anatomy and physiology, techniques for achieving quality results, case presentations of important diseases and hands-on scanning of normal dogs.
Skills taught in this course include further-on pulse wave Doppler, continuous wave Doppler, color flow Doppler, special measurements and calculations and applying the Bernoulli equation to clinical cases.
The participants will rotate in the afternoon in hands-on sessions through different stations with experienced instructors, with individual coaching on obtaining echocardiographic views and measurements taught in the morning lectures as the main focus.
The ECHO-Lab station focuses on pattern recognition and will present computer-based Echo case presentations of clinical cases that will be solved interactively by the participants guided by an instructor. Therefore many important cardiac diseases will be seen by the participants.

At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss, identify and perform a complete diagnostic study from the right and left hemithorax.
2. Measure 2D, M-mode and Doppler echocardiograms to quantify cardiac size and function.
3. Compare and contrast the usefulness of 2D and M-mode Echocardiography, and of PW, CW and color Doppler.
4. Recognize clinical uses of Doppler for estimation of intravascular pressures.
5. Describe a complete Doppler examination and obtain Doppler-derived flow signals from the heart and great vessels.
6. Discuss the use of echo and Doppler in the recognition, staging and management of congenital and acquired heart disease.
7. Describe the typical imaging and Doppler echocardiographic findings of common acquired and congenital heart diseases.

Prerequisite: ESAVS course modules I and II provide essential knowledge of cardiac diseases in small animals. These courses provide the necessary knowledge to understand and treat the most common cardiac diseases, whereas this course in veterinary cardiology focuses on performing good ultrasound exams.
