Cases Required for Studies

From time to time we will post details here of requests of patients to participate in research studies. These are directed to our referring vets. If you are a pet owner and are interested in participating a study you see here, please speak to your vet.

Calling for Great Danes to screen for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)

We have funding from the Kennel Club Charitable Trust and the Great Dane Breed Council to screen Great Danes for DCM, by Echocardiography (in dogs of 4 years or older) and Holter monitoring (in dogs over 12 months of age), including cardiac biomarkers. Please contact the cardiology team to discuss whether your Dane or your client’s Great Dane may be a suitable candidate.
