Modern treatment methods for heart and airway diseases in dogs
These advanced and minimally invasive techniques allow us to treat heart diseases effectively and gently, without the need for open-chest surgery. Thanks to these specialized procedures, dogs with congenital and/or acquired heart diseases can be treated successfully, significantly improving their quality of life.
Patients who benefit from these interventions include dogs with pulmonary valve stenosis or patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ), as well as dogs with cardiac arrhythmias (bradycardia, atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome) or respiratory diseases such as tracheal collapse.

Pacemaker
Atrioventricular Block, Sick Sinus Syndrome
Dogs with bradycardia caused by an atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome, resulting in a significantly reduced heart rate, can receive a pacemaker. The device regulates the heart rate and can substantially improve and extend the animals’ quality of life./p>
