 human med vs vet med
I've had some discussions w my vet and an acquaintance of mine who is a DVM on the differences between human med and vet med. I am always interested in the different pathologies, treatments, diagnostics.
I have been told in vet med BP is measured as a diastolic measurement, where we in human med take a systolic/diastolic measurement. Also, as the human heart ages its the aortic valve that gets calcified, where in canines its the mitral valve.
I was just wondering of any of the vet med ppl have anymore interesting tidbits of info like that on the differences. I hope other ppl find it as interesting as I do; and I also hope I'm posting this in the right section! |
