ADVERTORIAL
Dr . Phil Reese “ This information is very practical , and can be used to improve decision making in relation to clinical mitral valve disease cases seen by both specialists and GP ’ s . The findings firmly entrench the important and exclusive role of pimobendan in the therapeutic approach to this disease . The EPIC trial is an important step forward in veterinary science in general , as it not only provides important new information , but models meticulous scientific investigation which is sadly often lacking in the veterinary literature . The quality and attention to detail from the planning phase through execution and collating results is virtually unprecedented .”
Dr . Paolo Pazzi “ The content of the symposium was directed not only at the specialist but at the application and importance
to private practitioners . This made the symposium relevant and extremely useful in the application of the information created by the research . This pertains not only to the EPIC trial , but also the research currently available regarding the use of pimobendan in cats . The EPIC trial results are a game-changer !
There is so much research out there and so much of it is inconclusive or fraught with complications to its application . But the EPIC study has created information that is applicable , useful and will change the way we think of the treatment of cardiac disease . For our practice it will imply a greater number of dogs will undergo echocardiography to determine if they fit the criteria for early treatment ( pre-clinical ) of mitral valve disease .”
