Veterinary Specialty Interest Group (VetSIG)

Veterinary Specialty Interest Group (VetSIG)

The goal of the ASE Veterinary Specialty Interest Group (Vet SIG) is to be the space for interaction among individuals with a cardiovascular interest that involves animals. Currently, researchers, veterinarians for pets and domestic animals, zoo veterinarians, and other professionals evolve within their discipline-specific communities.

This SIG offers the opportunity for these individuals to interact with like-minded people whose professional affiliations might not otherwise favor that interaction. The Vet SIG is intended for all practitioners of echocardiography and echocardiography enthusiasts whose clinical or research work, interest, or both, relate to animals. Some examples are animal models of cardiovascular disease (rodent, nonhuman primate, other mammalian and nonmammalian species), development of cardiovascular devices, pharmaceuticals, veterinary cardiology practice (dog, cat, horse, zoo animals), pathogenesis of congenital and structural heart diseases, and bench testing new echocardiographic modalities. Specifically, this SIG can be expected to appeal to physicians, sonographers, and allied professionals interested and involved in comparative cardiovascular medicine; scientists; veterinarians; veterinary sonographers; and trainees in these disciplines.
