Case Studies in Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine – M. Kittleson

A fantastic free resource just got even better! The Case Studies in Small Animal Cardiovascular Medicine website from UC Davis has been completely redesigned with a cleaner interface, improved navigation, and full ADA accessibility. New additions include echocardiography videos, audio recordings of abnormal heart sounds, and a brand-new case study – with more cases planned for the future. Perfect for veterinary students, clinicians, and educators alike, this site offers real-world cardiology cases to sharpen your diagnostic skills. Many thanks to Dr. Mark Kittleson for his dedication in building and maintaining such a valuable learning tool.
