Cardiology Referrals
Cardiology Referrals: proudly employee owned
The HeartVets team is led by Jo Harris, Dave Dickson and Julia Sargent who are all RCVS Recognised Specialists in Veterinary Cardiology. We provide a visiting service at a network of veterinary clinics and hospital practices across the South West UK and Wales.
All of our clinicians are highly trained in echocardiography, using state-of-the-art portable cardiac ultrasound machines. We use ECG and the latest digital Holter monitors to assess heart rate and rhythm in the clinic or at home.
HeartVets offer a competitive interventional cardiology service, regularly performing closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), pulmonary balloon valuloplasty and pacemaker implantation using the fantastic facilities at Cave Veterinary Specialists, alongside their team of anaesthetists and nurses.
HeartVet Solutions: our telemedicine service
Here at HeartVets we are passionate about providing cardiology care to as many pets as possible. We aim to empower and assist veterinary professionals to offer more in-house cardiology services and deliver first-class care without the need for referral every time. Consider us the “cardiologist in your pocket”!
If you are a client and are concerned that your pet may have a heart problem, please speak with your usual vet in the first instance. They may wish to refer your pet for a cardiology investigation at one of our clinics, or they can register with us to use our online services.
Learning Zone: for vets and owners
We are very enthusiastic about sharing our cardiology knowledge and skills with other members of the veterinary community! Whether you are a recent graduate, refreshing your clinical knowledge after a break, or already have a keen interest in cardiology, there are lectures and courses available to suit your needs.
Visit our Learning Zone to catch some free CPD and see our upcoming CPD events and online content.
We also have lots of resources available for pet owners. If you are concerned about your pet’s heart health you may find our FAQs and information sheets helpful. If you have already been referred to us, read on to find out what to expect from an appointment with HeartVets.
