About
Southeast Veterinary Cardiology (SEVC) offers board-certified veterinary cardiology consulting, specializing in in-hospital echocardiograms. All echocardiograms and cardiac physical exams are performed directly by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, Dr. Brandon Pogue, DACVIM (Cardiology). The practice focuses exclusively on cardiology care, utilizing a GE Vivid iq, a portable cardiac-specific ultrasound. Services include murmur evaluations, pre-anesthesia evaluations, and 6-lead ECGs.
SEVC operates as a mobile referral service, visiting primary care veterinary clinics in metro Atlanta and its northern suburbs to manage cardiac disease in patients. They do not have their own clinic and do not schedule directly with pet owners; all consultations are arranged through the pet's primary care veterinarian.
