The Cardiology Service at Penn Vet's Ryan Veterinary Hospital is considered the birthplace of specialty veterinary medicine. Today, the Service continues this tradition by offering state-of-the-art treatment and diagnostic services such as echocardiography, electrocardiography, radiography, angiography, and 24-hour ambulatory ECG (Holter) monitoring.
The Service also offers the latest minimally-invasive surgical and interventional therapies, including correction of congenital heart defects and artificial pacemaker implantation, heartworm retrieval, and radiofrequency ablation of select arrhythmias in dogs. We contribute to a variety of clinical trials that allow access to new therapies and diagnostics, many of which are not available anywhere else. You can find general information about clinical trials on our Clinical Sciences Research Division site and on Penn Vet's complete list of active clinical trials.
The Cardiology Service sees appointments Monday-Friday.
Please Note: We cannot provide medical advice over the phone for pets that have not been seen by Cardiology.
