Abstract
In the first part of the article, risk assessment of the patient with cardiovascular disease (CVD) was discussed. In this second part, basic pathophysiology of the most commonly encountered CVD in dogs and cats are reviewed, together with haemodynamic goals during anaesthesia in these patients along with choice of the most suitable anaesthetic technique. Aspects of monitoring of anaesthesia for the patient with CVD are briefly reviewed.
