Cardiology Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) in the United States

 

This list of ACVIM Board Certified Veterinary Cardiologists in the United States is current as of November 2007 and includes e-mail addresses and websites. A few cardiologists who are not ACVIM certified also are included.

 

Several of these cardiologists conduct heart examination clinics throughout the year, possibly at reduced rates.  You can also check at www.offa.org for further information, or contact your local clubs for upcoming clinics or referrals.
