Click the folder link (ABOVE) to see additional links to the various Veterinary Specialists, and also to General Vets who are board certified in FELINES and their particular issues and basic diseases. -->***NOTE: a SPECIALIST specific to your cat's DISEASE (ie: Cardiologist--or Internal Medicine Vet if no Cardiologist nearby for cats with heart disase) is a MUST. A General Vet or Feline General Vet is NOT a substitute for, or equipped to deal with, the VERY advanced expertise of these specialists, and their daily treatment of , and focus on, that specific disease!***<-- Keep in mind with these links to *Always CALL the toll free numbers listed on the sites if you have problems finding someone near you…it is always possible that the list hasn’t been updated to show someone near you. Some basic Info about the additional expertise of specialists: ABOUT VETERINARY SPECIALISTS: (ACVIM=American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine): ACVIM has more than 1,400 active members, called ACVIM Diplomates, who are Board-certified specialists. These specialists have dedicated 3 to 6 years of their professional career to advanced training in veterinary medicine. Only veterinarians who have successfully completed ACVIM’s rigorous training and testing requirements are certified as Diplomates, and have earned the right to be called Board-certified specialists in veterinary internal medicine."The amount of training an ACVIM Board-certified specialist is required to have goes far beyond the technical aspects of veterinary care," said Bruce Madewell, DVM, incoming ACVIM Board Chair. "Our training includes an extensive amount of time dedicated to all aspects of cardiology, neurology, oncology and internal medicine. This breadth of training helps ensure that we provide an optimum level of care for all our patients." http://www.acvim.org/index.aspx?id=243 (To find a Vet. Cardiologist IN THE U.K.: http://old.bsava.com/vcs/ )

Hypercard 10 Tablets
HyperCard 10 is indicated for the therapeutic treatment of Feline Primary Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Diltiazem Hydrochloride is a benzothiazepine derivative which acts as a calcium channel blocker and exerts its effect by selectively inhibiting the inward movement of calcium ions across the cell membrane into vascular smooth muscle cells and myocardial cells.
