About the Event

In the last 10 years, the veterinary community has discovered a diet-associated link to development of dilated cardiomyopathy in atypical breeds and species. While the research remains ongoing, we now have much more information available to guide concerned owners, help affected patients, and work to protect pets while still respecting the owner’s feeding preferences. This lecture will highlight recent research concerning specific ingredient concerns with diet-associated cardiac disease, the benefit (or lack of) of supplements, and how to help owners choose an appropriate diet for pets with food sensitivities and cardiac disease. 

About the Speaker
Dr. Katie Nadolny grew up in rural Southern Oregon with a menagerie of animals. She attended undergraduate training at Arizona State University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history and religious studies. With a plan to go into foreign correspondence or international relations, she spent a year after graduation in Morocco, studying the Arabic language. It was during this year that she realized that a career focused on animal care may be more in line with her passion. Dr. Nadolny ultimately attended veterinary school at the University of Missouri and then completed a rotating internship at North Carolina State University, where her interests in cardiac physiology and caring for cardiac patients were solidified. Following her internship, she headed to the University of Wisconsin for a 3-year cardiology residency. She completed her residency and board certification in July of 2019. As an American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine board-certified veterinary cardiologist, Dr. Nadolny enjoys all aspects of diagnosing and treating cardiac disease, but particularly enjoys the relationships she forms with her clients and patients. Her academic interests are in electrophysiology and advanced treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
