Obtaining an OFA Advanced Cardiac Certification from a board-certified Cardiologist is the gold standard screening exam. ![Dr\_Lamy\_Echocardiogram2\_2022](https://www.coastalveterinarycardiology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Headshots/Dr_Lamy_Echocardiogram2_2022.jpg?width=304&name=Dr_Lamy_Echocardiogram2_2022.jpg) While a single congenital screening is sufficient for the life of the animal, yearly monitoring for the development of age-related diseases is recommended.  The OFA databases are central to the organization's objective of **establishing control programs to lower the incidence of inherited disease**. They serve all breeds of dogs and cats and provide breeders with a means to respond to the challenge of improving the genetic health of their breed through better breeding practices.   ![Lamy pup for web](https://www.coastalveterinarycardiology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Headshots/Cats_560x370%20(2).png?width=267&height=400&name=Cats_560x370%20(2).png "Lamy pup for web") #### Clinic Dates | Locations **2026 Schedule February 14th | [Lakeland Winter Haven Kennel Club Cluster,](https://lwhkc.org/event-calendar/) Lakeland FL May 2nd| [Mid-Florida Gold Retriever Club Cardiac Clinic, Ocala, FL](https://mfgrc.org/)** **September 19th** | **[West Volusia Kennel Club, Deland, FL](https://www.wvkc.org/) September 27th |** [Boca Raton Dog Club,  West Palm Beach](https://bocaratondogclub.org/) **October 3rd | [Hernando County Kennel Club Heart Clinic, Brooksville, FL](https://hernandocountykennelclub.org/health-clinic)** Check back often, we make regular updates to our schedule!
