Help! My Vet Heard Irregular Heartbeats: What Does that Mean?
Presented by Katharyn Mitchell, BVSc, PhD, Dip ACVIM (LAIM)
Dr. Mitchell's presentation will discuss common reasons for horses to have an irregular heart rhythm, otherwise known as an arrhythmia. She will talk about when these arrhythmias should be investigated, safety considerations for horses with arrhythmias, especially during exercise, and what arrhythmia treatments are currently available.
Dr. Katharyn Mitchell graduated from Massey University, New Zealand, in 2003 and since graduating she has been on a journey with equine medicine that has taken her around the world.
