Cardiology<\/h1>\n<p>The Veterinary Cardiology Service at the Hospital provides comprehensive, advanced and highly specialised care for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cardiovascular diseases in companion animals.<\/p>\n<p>Our team combines clinical experience, state-of-the-art technology and a multidisciplinary approach to manage everything from common heart diseases to complex cases requiring advanced and interventional procedures.<\/p>\n<p>We perform complete cardiological studies that allow us to accurately assess cardiac anatomy and function, identify structural and functional abnormalities, determine their severity and evaluate their clinical impact in order to establish the most appropriate treatment for each patient.<\/p>\n<h3>Referral centre and specialised training<\/h3>\n<p>Our service combines advanced clinical care with a strong commitment to teaching and the development of the specialty.<\/p>\n<p>We are a <strong>Residency Training Centre approved by the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine \u2013 Companion Animals (ECVIM-CA, Cardiology) and by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM, Cardiology)<\/strong> for the training of residents in veterinary cardiology.<\/p>\n<p>This international accreditation recognises that the service meets the required standards in clinical activity, caseload, equipment, supervision and specialised training, enabling the training of future international specialists in veterinary cardiology.<\/p>\n<p>The integration of clinical care, specialised training and research
