Experience with severe & refractory disease
Patients referred with recurring heart failure despite treatment, or heart disease alongside kidney and endocrine conditions: this is the severe-disease experience Dr. Lee developed in university hospitals and 24-hour animal medical centers.
With a master's degree focused on cardiorenal syndrome, he has studied the management of patients with both heart and kidney disease.
Research & academic presentations →Refractory heart failure in feline HCMis among the conditions he has managed, alongside arrhythmias, cardiac tumors, severe heartworm infection and congenital heart disease. These involve medical assessment and care for severe cardiac patients with different causes and clinical courses.
When heart disease coexists with kidney or endocrine disease,the effects of each condition and the response to multiple medications must be considered together. This connects his cardiorenal research with his clinical work in concurrent disease.

Bring results, imaging and prescription details from the previous hospital. Changes since starting treatment and observations at home are also valuable clinical information.
