Veterinary Diagnostics InstituteTM (VDxI)
is a specialty veterinary reference laboratory focused on providing veterinarians with specialty, esoteric diagnostic tests.
Canine CardioCare is a simple blood test to detect heart disease and heart failure in dogs.
In conjunction with a veterinary exam, Canine CardioCare is useful in identifying heart disease in both symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs.
Canine CardioCare is less stressful on the pet and less expensive for the owner than x-ray and/or echocardiogram.
The test detects canine NT-proBNP. NT-proBNP is secreted by the heart as a result of heart disease with levels significantly elevated during heart failure.
Canine CardioCare is intended to be used to identify dogs at an earlier disease stage that need to be referred for a cardiac work-up to include an echocardiogram performed by a cardiologist.
