What we assess
Heart murmurs, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Diagnosis uses cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), imaging and bloodwork, with a management plan tailored to the condition.
Warning signs in cats and dogs
Rapid or laboured breathing at rest, coughing, reduced exercise tolerance, fainting, or sudden hind-limb weakness in cats (a sign of a clot). Cats in particular often show no symptoms until disease is advanced — screening matters.

Why is heart screening important for cats?
Feline heart disease such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is common and frequently shows no outward signs until it is advanced, so screening can catch problems early.
