Cardiology has seen many innovations in the past decade. To guide us through some of these, Luca Ferasin joins the Vet Times Podcast once again, where he also explains the importance of first opinion practitioners, referral vets and owners working together on these cases. Luca Ferasin is head of cardiology at The Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. A cardiology diplomate, he has vastly contributed to the veterinary literature with articles, abstracts and book chapters, including the chapter on coughing in the latest edition of Ettinger’s Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine. He is a regular speaker worldwide and his main professional interests include – but are by no means limited to – feline cardiology, exercise physiology, as well as clinical investigation and management of syncope and coughing. Luca has been a cardiologist for more than 20 years and was awarded a fellowship of the RCVS for his meritorious contributions to clinical practice. This podcast is an accompaniment to an article Luca has written in Vet Times 29 September 2020 issue (Volume 50, Issue 40, Pages 6-9). The article, “Heart disease in canine patients”, is now online at https://www.vettimes.co.uk/article/heart-disease-in-canine-patients/ Luca’s Vet Times Podcast earlier this year – Ep 19: Luca Ferasin on myxomatous mitral valve disease – is available at https://www.vettimes.co.uk/article/vet-times-podcast-ep-19-luca-ferasin-on-myxomatous-mitral-valve-disease/
