NAVHC's World Renowned Scientific Committee
NAVHC's World Renowned Scientific Committee

JUPITER, Fla. (PRWEB) June 13, 2018 -- When you think of cutting-edge cardiac care, you might think of hospitals and training facilities in some of the most advanced institutions across the country.

When it comes to world-class veterinary cardiology and heart surgery, pet owners and veterinary thought leaders can now think of Jupiter, Florida, home of the North American Veterinary Heart Center (NAVHC).

We are working with the best of the best. It does not matter how complex the case may be, when I consult with our scientific committee, I truly can offer our pets world-class treatment options based on individual needs. Dr. Pelosi said

“The services we offer go beyond simply caring for pets that are ill,” said Giovanni Di Stadio, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of NAVHC. “We are teaming with some of the world’s leading researchers, cardiologists, and surgeons to create the next generation of lifesaving protocols for the treatment of cardiac disease in pets,” said Di Stadio.

Most of the advances in veterinary cardiology and heart surgery are created in partnership with human cardiologists and physicians. When it comes to veterinary cardiology and heart surgery, NAVHC offers unparalleled knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of pets. Combining this knowledge with the thought leadership of the Center’s world-class scientific committee allows referring veterinarians and the Center’s patients to take advantage of the most advanced cardiac thought leadership available in the veterinary industry.

At NAVHC, each patient, and their condition is unique. As such, patients receive a highly individualized set of treatment options to ensure the highest chance for a successful outcome. “A scientific committee of this stature is unprecedented and transforms the historical prospective within the veterinary cardiology and cardiac surgery profession,” said Dr. Augusta Pelosi, the Center’s Medical Director, and Co-Founder.

“Their minds, their working knowledge, and their cumulative experiences that span decades will help promote excellence in veterinary cardiology and cardiac surgery. Our scientific committee will build the foundation for the exchange of information, pushing the boundaries of knowledge between human and veterinary medicine benefiting both pets and humans alike”, said Pelosi.

“We are working with the best of the best. It does not matter how complex the case may be when I consult with our scientific committee; I truly can offer our pets world-class treatment options based on individual needs,” Dr. Pelosi said.

“Our scientific committee reads like a whos-who of cardiology, research and cardiac surgery experts from across the country,” said Di Stadio.
