ForwardCustomized Medication Opportunities for Veterinary Cardiovascular Disorders
Please note that this is the on-demand version of the webinar. The live webinar was recorded on May 8, 2018.
Just like their human counterparts, animals can develop many forms of cardiovascular disease, a broad term used to describe disorders affecting the supply of blood throughout the body. Proper management of cardiovascular disorders in veterinary patients presents unique challenges, since manufactured medications are largely intended for human use. Different formulations that target species-specific physiological and behavioral needs are warranted.
In this webinar, participants will become well familiarized with the various types of cardiovascular disorders afflicting veterinary patients, including feline aortic thromboembolism, canine heartworm disease and feline hypertension, among others. In reviewing these conditions, participants will recognize the challenges surrounding current pharmacotherapeutic options for veterinary cardiovascular disease and the need for customization. By exploring pharmaceutical compounding opportunities, healthcare providers will gain a better understanding of how to tailor and optimize medications for this special population.
Intended audience
