Help! My vet heard a heart murmur: what does that mean? - Cornell Equine Seminar Series, May 2022

"Help! My vet heard a heart murmur! What does that mean?" presented by Dr. Katharyn Mitchell, assistant professor of large animal internal medicine; recorded May 17, 2022.

In this Equine Seminar Series presentation, #CornellVet is excited to introduce you to Katharyn Mitchell, DVM, PhD, BVSc, ACVIM (LAIM), assistant professor of large animal internal medicine.

Dr. Mitchell graduated from Massey University in 2003 and University of Melbourne (2004-2005). She spent 18 months in private practice in Australia before her residency at Cornell (2007-2010) in large animal internal medicine. She then returned to private practice in Australia for three years before moving to Switzerland for a Ph.D. position at the University of Zurich in 2013. She successfully completed her Ph.D. in equine cardiovascular medicine in 2018 and worked at both the University of Zurich and Bern as a senior clinician in equine medicine/cardiology for 2018-2020. She then returned to Cornell in September 2021 in a faculty position. Mitchell enjoys all aspects of large animal medicine, but her special interests involve cardiology and emergency/critical care, especially the role of the cardiovascular system in systemic disease.

In a recent faculty Q&A with Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine, Mitchell says: “I’m very excited for the future of equine cardiology. We are really pushing the envelope for what we know and understand about cardiovascular diseases that affect the horse and there are some very innovative therapeutic options becoming available as we translate what we know from human medicine across to equine medicine.”
