She is also interested in aortic thromboembolism, and in particular its pathogenesis and risk factors.

David's clinical interests include interventional cardiology for the management of congenital heart disease and the use of advanced echocardiographic techniques for the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiac disease in companion animals. He has a particular interest in feline cardiomyopathies which form the basis of the majority of his research. The Cardiology Team consists of four specialists, four residents in training and one dedicated cardiology nurse and our goal is to provide an outstanding secondary and tertiary service at the forefront of veterinary medicine.
