9: Prof Gerhard Wess, on dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a common disease in dogs, which is almost uniquely difficult to diagnose in the early stages. In this episode, Kieran and Jose interview Prof Gerhard Wess, a clinician and researcher who leads the cardiology department at the LMU University of Munich, Germany. Prof Wess brings his extensive, decades-spanning experience of diagnosing and managing DCM to the podcast and shares his advice on how best to assess potential cases.
