Kardiologija u svakodnevnoj praksi

Dec 29, 2025

O KURSU
Ovaj dvodnevni kurs je osmišljen kao intenzivan, klinički orijentisan edukativni program iz oblasti veterinarske kardiologije, namenjen praktičarima koji žele da unaprede svoje znanje i sigurnost u svakodnevnom radu sa kardiološkim pacijentima. Kroz kombinaciju teorijskih predavanja i praktičnih sesija, učesnici će steći strukturisan pristup prepoznavanju, dijagnostici i inicijalnom zbrinjavanju najčešćih kardioloških oboljenja kod pasa i mačaka.
Poseban akcenat stavljen je na kliničko razmišljanje bez oslanjanja isključivo na naprednu opremu, pravilno tumačenje EKG zapisa, racionalnu upotrebu dijagnostičkih metoda, kao i razumevanje uloge radiologije i ul-trazvuka srca u svakodnevnoj praksi. Kurs povezuje teoriju sa realnim kliničkim primerima, omogućavajući učesnicima da odmah primene stečeno znanje u svojoj praksi.

CILJEVI UČENJA
Po završetku kursa, učesnici će biti u stanju da:

  • prepoznaju kardiološkog pacijenta na osnovu anamneze, kliničkog pregleda i auskultacije
  • razlikuju hitna kardiološka stanja od stabilnih pacijenata i postave prioritete u zbrinjavanju
  • interpretiraju osnovne i najčešće EKG nalaze u svakodnevnoj kliničkoj praksi
  • razumeju indikacije, ograničenja i kliničku vrednost EKG-a, RTG-a i ultrazvuka srca
  • identifikuju i razumeju patofiziologiju najčešćih srčanih oboljenja kod pasa (DCM, MMVD, cor pul-monale)
  • prepoznaju i razumeju kardiološke specifičnosti mačaka, uključujući kardiomiopatije i arterijski tromboembolizam
  • primene osnovne ultrazvučne tehnike srca u kliničkoj praksi

ECG & Cardiac Radiography in Dogs and Cats

Dec 17, 2025

Enhance your confidence in veterinary cardiology with this intensive two-day course focused on ECG interpretation and cardiac radiography in dogs and cats. Through clear, step-by-step guidance and interactive case discussions, you will learn how to acquire high-quality ECGs, recognise clini-cally relevant arrhythmias, and interpret cardiac radiographs with confidence.
Designed for everyday practice, the course bridges theory and real-world application, helping you make faster, more accurate clinical decisions in small animal cardiology.

What You Will Learn

  • When and how to use ECG effectively in dogs and cats
  • A systematic approach to ECG acquisition and interpretation
  • Recognition of common arrhythmias and conduction disorders
  • Interpretation of advanced ECG changes in cardiac disease
  • Practical assessment of cardiac radiographs, including heart size and pulmonary patterns
  • Identification of radiographic signs of congestive heart failure and pericardial disease

Objectives and goals of the course

  • Feline Cardiology: Most Common Diseases (Part I & II)
    In these lectures, you will learn about the most prevalent cardiac conditions in cats, their underlying causes, clinical signs, and diagnostic approaches. Expect a thorough exploration of conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy. We will discuss disease progression, treatment options, and case examples to provide practical insights.
  • ECG: Basics and Normal Values
    This session will provide an introduction to the principles of electrocardiography (ECG) in both cats and dogs. You’ll learn to interpret waveforms, understand normal parameters for each species, and recognize baseline differences between them. This foundation will help you identify and diagnose cardiac abnormalities in the following sessions.
  • Tachyarrhythmias: Diagnosis and Treatment
    This lecture focuses on fast heart rhythms in cats and dogs, their identification on ECG, and clinical implications. We will discuss the therapeutic options to manage tachyarrhythmias, with emphasis on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
  • Bradyarrhythmias: Diagnosis and Treatment
    Learn about slow heart rhythms, how to diagnose them using clinical and ECG findings, and the steps involved in treatment. This session will emphasize understanding when bradyarrhythmias are pathological and require intervention.
  • ECG Exercises
    A practical session to apply the theoretical knowledge of ECG interpretation for both cats and dogs. You’ll work through case-based examples to analyze, identify and manage both normal and abnormal rhythms.
