Invaluable knowledge base for owner of a cat with heart disease December 13, 2008

When my cat was diagnosed with heart failure, I needed to understand more about his disease. The Manual of Canine and Feline Cardiology was an eminently readable overview of the field of veterinary cardiology. However, it left me wanting a more in-depth coverage of disease types and etiologies, and for this I had to go to an older, but even more thorough text by Kittleson and Kienle, Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine.
The main benefit I found from arming myself with this knowledge was a far better communication with the veterinarian managing my cat's case.
I highly recommend the read to anyone else in my position.
AWESOME FREAKING BOOK! March 30, 2007

This is my favorite book of all time as I want to be a Canine Cardiologist but buyer beware. This is written for vets to read and understand so I reccomend learning your veterinary terminology well and having a veterinary dictionary. With the aid of the textbook Learning Veterinary Terminology and the dictionary Saunder's Comprehensive Veterinary dictionary I have no trouble reading this book.
If you are a breeder of a breed with a high incidence of heart problems I highly reccomend this book as it will teach you a lot about the care, identification, and management of various heart problems.
And if you are thinking about being a veterinarian I encourage you to become a veterinary cardiologist for either dogs and cats or just dogs. A health screening from a cardiologist is absoutely essential in breeding dogs of breeds prone to health problems but veterinary cardiologists are far and few between which not only creates long drives but a monopoly of sorts that lets them get away with charging insane prices. This, needless to say, is not in the best interest of eliminating congential heart problems from dog breeds.
