Our equipment

We perform echocardiography, blood tests, and Vcheck NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) tests in-house. We first discuss which tests are needed, then explain what the findings mean for your pet and the care to consider next.

Samsung R20 ultrasound system

Our clinic uses Samsung Medison's premium R20 ultrasound imaging system, introduced in 2025. Its next-generation imaging engine, digital beamforming and adaptive image processing support clear, uniform images.

Dr. Lee Jinho, a former veterinary internal medicine resident focused on cardiology, interprets R20 images and measurements alongside examination findings and previous records, then explains the results.

Digital X-ray

DRGEM VXR-E

Images the chest, abdomen, joints and other body regions. Used to assess heart size and check for pulmonary edema promptly.

Resting electrocardiogram

CardiPia 800H

Records the heart's electrical signals in the consultation room. Ultrasound shows the heart's shape; an ECG shows its rhythm. It can identify fast or slow rhythms and premature beats during the visit and is included in our detailed cardiac checkup.

Holter · continuous long-term ECG

AT-Patch

A patch records your pet's rhythm continuously for 7–14 days. At 8.3 mm and 13 g, it is compact and lightweight. IP44/IP57 water resistance supports everyday wear. Its disposable coin-cell design requires no recharging.

Complete blood count (CBC)

IDEXX ProCyte One

A veterinary automated hematology analyzer provides 24 CBC parameters in under five minutes. HD laser technology identifies individual blood cells to improve white cell and platelet measurement.

Blood chemistry & electrolytes

IDEXX Catalyst One

In-house testing provides rapid results for liver and kidney values, electrolytes, thyroid function and other blood chemistry parameters. It helps monitor kidney and liver complications in pets receiving cardiac medication.

Cardiac biomarkers

Bionote Vcheck V200

Quantifies NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in-house. These support assessment of cardiac strain and myocardial injury. Values are interpreted alongside symptoms, echocardiography and ECG findings, rather than used alone for diagnosis.

Doppler blood pressure monitor

PARKS 811-BL

Used to assess heart disease accompanied by high or low blood pressure, with a non-invasive method that places little burden on your pet.

Smart incubator

Curadle PRO PLUS 160 V3 (medical device)

Used to observe and care for pets before and after tests during outpatient visits. An oxygen cylinder is connected directly when oxygen is required.

Automatic medication packaging

Single-R93III

Automatically separates and packages accurately measured doses to make medication easier to give and reduce dosing mistakes.
