About the Course

Managing congestive heart failure requires continuous adaptation as cardiac disease progresses and conventional therapies reach their limits. This 1-hour clinical session delivers an evidence-based roadmap for diagnosing and stabilizing canine and feline patients with advanced cardiac decompensation. You will learn practical imaging markers—including VHS, VLAS and echocardiographic thresholds—while reviewing both established and newer pharmaceutical strategies. Designed for collaborative veterinary teams, this course provides clear protocols to optimize patient comfort and prolong survival.
