Veterinary cardiology

When performance depends on the heart.

Non-invasive cardiac screening for high-performance animals. Racehorses and dressage horses, falconry birds, racing greyhounds, service dogs. Always with a licensed veterinarian.

The problem

Silent cardiac pathology in high-performance animals.

Racehorses, falconry birds and racing greyhounds can suffer arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies or structural pathology that compromises their performance, shortens their sporting career and, in the worst case, causes sudden death.

Traditional diagnosis (auscultation, Holter, veterinary echo) has limitations in accuracy and availability, especially in the field and for exotic species such as birds of prey. Cardisiography provides early detection with a fast protocol adapted to the veterinary setting.

The procedure

How it works in the veterinary setting.

Protocol adapted to each species. Always in collaboration with a licensed veterinarian.

  • Non-invasive

    Only adhesive electrodes or clips adapted to each species.

  • Portable

    Case deployable to stables, racecourses, clinics or falconry clubs.

  • Fast

    A few minutes of recording per animal. Immediate report.

  • Usually no sedation

    In most cases no sedation or anaesthesia of the animal is required.

What we do NOT do

We never act without a licensed veterinarian.

The Cardisiography screening is a clinical support tool. It does not replace professional veterinary diagnosis. We always work in collaboration with licensed veterinarians and specialist clinics, or for breeders and clubs, we deploy a team accompanied by a professional.

Falconry and birds of prey: services for saker falcons (CITES Appendix II) and other protected species are only carried out on animals with valid CITES licences and in accordance with EU regulations.

How we work with you

Three models. Choose yours.

  • Modelo A

    Direct purchase

    You acquire the Cardisiography device for your clinic. Training included. Maintenance by annual subscription.

  • Modelo B

    Leasing / monthly subscription

    Fixed monthly fee, no upfront cost. Includes maintenance, software and support. Ideal for small or medium clinics.

  • Modelo C

    On-site service

    You don't buy the equipment. We deploy a Cardisio team accompanied by a veterinarian to your stables, racecourse or falconry club on demand.

The process step by step

How it's done, no surprises.

  1. 1

    Team arrival

    Case + veterinarian deployed to your facility.

  2. 2

    Animal preparation

    Identification, brief rest, adjustment of electrode placement area.

  3. 3

    Electrode placement

    Adapted to the species. No sedation in most cases.

  4. 4

    Recording

    A few minutes of acquisition. Animal at rest.

  5. 5

    Report delivery

    Cardisiography report for the responsible veterinarian.

Cardisiography + alternatives

Complements, does not replace.

Cardisiography does not replace veterinary echocardiography or Holter monitoring. It provides a complementary diagnostic dimension with greater sensitivity than conventional ECG.

ECG estándar

Fast tool, but low sensitivity for CAD (≈25%) and SHD (≈40%). Cardisiography significantly improves this while maintaining the same procedure time.

Cardisiography (us)

3D vectorcardiography + AI. 90% accuracy for CAD, SHD and arrhythmias. Portable, no radiation. Complements echo and Holter.

Cardiac echo / Holter

Highly accurate specific studies but require a room, time or days of monitoring. Indicated following a screening finding.

FAQ

Veterinary-specific questions.

Does the animal need sedation?
In most cases no. It depends on the species and temperament of the animal. This is assessed case by case with the responsible veterinarian.
Which breeds or species does it work with?
Implemented with specific protocols for horses (all breeds), falcons (saker, peregrine and other CITES raptors), greyhounds and other competition canines, service dogs and racing pigeons. Other species on request.
Do you work with clinics or on-site?
Both. Clinics can acquire the device. For breeders, racecourses, falconry clubs and owners with non-transportable animals, we offer an on-site service.
Are CITES licences required for falcons?
Yes, mandatory. We only attend animals with valid CITES licences in accordance with EU regulations (Appendix II for saker).
What is the difference from a veterinary echo?
Echocardiography measures structure and function with high anatomical precision. Cardisiography measures electrical activity and detects CAD, SHD and arrhythmia patterns. They are complementary.
What is the cost of the service?
Varies by modality (purchase, leasing, on-site) and species. Request a proposal via the contact form.
