Equine Cardiology - Beyond Your Ears

22 Sep 2022 - 22 Sep 2022
09:00 - 17:00

Rossdales Equine Hospital,
Newmarket,
CB8 7NN

book iconAbout the Course

This course will lead you through the investigation of horses with cardiac disease using echocardiography and electrocardiography to fully evaluate the clinical significance of cardiac disease in the horse. 

The course provides a full day learning with the majority of the day being focused on image acquisition and interpretation. The practical course will be delivered in small groups providing plenty of opportunity to develop the necessary skills under specialist guidance. Case based examples will take you beyond simply obtaining images to be able to interpret findings.
