Cardiovascular disorders in animals are highly significant because they can affect their quality of life and life expectancy. Advanced knowledge of cardiology is indispensable for large animal veterinarians: ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats), camelids (alpacas, camels and llamas), swine (pigs, wild boars) and equids (donkeys and mules).

Cardiology in ruminants and swine has been limited, for a long time, due to the limited literature and diagnostic limitations, especially in advanced therapeutic procedures. Regarding Equidae, a high number of horses are used for sporting purposes and cardiac pathologies limit their capacity and even force the animal to withdraw from competition. This is more evident the more demanding the equine is in terms of sport and cardiovascular effort. The management of food species differs, but it also affects their production capacity.

In recent years, there has been a boom in the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, such as intracardiac electrocardiograms, electrophysiological mapping in arrhythmias, pacemaker implantation and other intracardiac devices that can be implemented in larger species. These advances, which are necessary for an adequate clinical approach, are not available in books.

Therefore, this Professional master’s degree offers a comprehensive and developed syllabus that addresses advanced cardiology topics, providing detailed descriptions of the different procedures performed depending on the species, as well as a guide for clinical decision making and patient selection. It incorporates specialized knowledge on cardiology, embryology, anatomy, physiology and cardiac pathophysiology, essential to understand the different pathologies.

These pathologies are covered exhaustively in the syllabus. Not only does it explain what they consist of and how they are treated, but the student also obtains a specialized clinical management guide for each of the cases, which includes decision making, making this Professional master’s degree a very useful tool for veterinarians.

Cardiac pharmacology plays a relevant role. The key to administering effective treatment lies in the knowledge of the mechanism of action of the different drugs that have an effect on the cardiovascular system, especially when the clinical presentation of cardiac patients is sometimes so different and requires personalized medication.     

This unit guides students towards a simple understanding of the action and adverse effects of drugs, which subsequently facilitates an intuitive clinical application. 

The Professional master’s degree in Cardiology in Large Animals brings together all the detailed information on the different fields of Cardiology at a high and advanced level of specialization, and is taught by renowned professors in the field of internal medicine, Cardiology and minimally invasive surgery in veterinary medicine.

Professional Master's Degree in Veterinary Cardiology in Major Species

Diagnosis and prescription for the proper approach to cardiac pathologies affecting ruminants, camelids, suids and equids requires a solid set of skills in medical intervention. Taking into account that at TECH Global University one of our main objectives is to accompany the specialization processes of professionals, we have created this program focused on the detailed study of the etiology and progression of diseases of the vascular system (endocardium, myocardium, pericardium) present in the organisms of different species of this type. During the year of study, the embryology, anatomy and physiology of these animals will be reviewed first, followed by general examination, non-invasive complementary tests, arrhythmia management, pharmacology and advanced cardiac procedures such as minimally invasive surgery and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This theoretical and practical course will enable students to adequately identify symptoms and plan treatment accordingly.

Study the Professional Master's Degree in Veterinary Cardiology

This postgraduate course at TECH is an important opportunity to achieve a high level of expertise in daily clinical practice, since, in addition to strengthening the necessary skills to perform interventions, it enriches the knowledge to perform differential diagnoses and the establishment of therapeutic protocols. In addition, thanks to our case analysis and problem-based learning methodology, students will be able to face real medical scenarios, where they will have to mobilize the resources available to adequately address each situation. With the acquired knowledge, the professional will be able to activate a series of mechanisms of action, essential for the rapid stabilization of the patient's condition, starting from the early detection of pathological signs. All this will also enable him/her to design and adopt his/her own work methodologies, aimed at favoring an integral assessment. In this way, the veterinarian who graduates from the program will be characterized by performing his work outstandingly, reducing the risk factors that affect the quality and life expectancy of animals.
