This concise textbook provides a comprehensive, practical guide for veterinary nurses and technicians who wish to develop their knowledge, confidence and skills when nursing the cardiac patient. Presentation of dogs or cats with heart disease are common and it is vital that nurses understand how to look after these patients appropriately and support owners through what can often be challenging times.

- Covers diseases seen in small animal practice, including congenital disease, heart failure and treatment options
- Gives the nurse a sound understanding of electrocardiography, thoracic radiography and cardiac ultrasound: how to perform these and of what they are seeing
- Covers the hands-on requirements of the veterinary nurse, such as heart auscultation and feeling patient pulses
- Lists cardiac drugs, explaining when and why pharmacology would be used, as well as side effects
- Has a dedicated chapter on first aid
- Discusses chronic nursing management of heart conditions, including remote monitoring, support and care planning.
The book is packed with learning features including a Glossary, diagrams, illustrations and tables in full colour, concise end of chapter Key Points and Further Reading lists.

Industry Reviews
I am so excited to see a book like this be released. Charlotte Pace has brought together a fantastic pocket-sized resource for veterinary nurses and technicians interested in learning about Cardiology. Her expert insight and knowledge has ensured this book is jam packed with all the information and quick reference guides that nurses and technicians would require for the day to day nursing of cardiac patients. I really wish this was about at the start of my cardiology journey - I would have had to get two, as the one in my pouch would have been completely battered with use!
