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