Abstract

This report describes the activities carried out during the Supervised Curricular Internship in Veterinary Medicine (SCIVM) at Sopro Vet Clinic for Cardiac and Respiratory Conditions in Dogs and Cats in the city of Porto Alegre. The internship was conducted under the guidance of Prof. Dr. João Paulo da Exaltação Pascon and supervised by Dr. Elisa Barp Newfeld. During the SCIVM, a total of 176 exams were performed, including echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, 24-hour Holter monitoring, and radiographic examinations. Additionally, 111 specialized consultations in veterinary cardiology and veterinary pneumology for dogs and cats were also attended. The curricular internship period extended from March 1st to May 26th, 2023, totaling 450 hours. The activities carried out mainly involved assisting in specialized consultations, restraining patients, administering medications, discussing examination reports, as well as interpreting them. In some cases, abdominal fluid drainage and electrocardiograms were also performed. For the purpose of this report, two cases were chosen for discussion: Canine Tachycardiomyopathy and a second case of Phenotype of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy secondary to Systemic Arterial Hypertension in a feline. At the end of the internship period, the importance of this experience is further emphasized, as it provided greater confidence and knowledge in this field.
