Referrals in Cardiology

Cardiology Referral Service
Mark Overend is currently enrolled in the RCVS certificate in veterinary cardiology, and has been accepting referrals in cardiology since 2001.
We offer a full cardiology referral service, including ECG, Radiography , doppler derived systolic BP, echocardiography and endoscopy/broncho-alveolar lavage..
Echocardiography would include standard M- mode evaluation, colour flow doppler , and spectral (pulsed wave and continuous wave) doppler, trans-valvular velocities and pressure gradients if necessary. We are also happy to give opinions on pericardial effusions, perform pericadiocentesis and  are equipped to perform exploratory thoracotomy, sub-total pericardiectomy, PDA closure etc.
