Biography/Professional Experience

Dr. Moise has been involved in teaching, clinical practice, and research. Her research has centered on arrhythmias in dogs. Her research was directed toward the normal and abnormal patterning of cardiac rhythms during long-term Holter analysis. She also orchestrated collaborative studies to understand the mechanisms of degeneration of the mitral valve in dogs. She was awarded the AVMA research award for arrhythmia studies in German shepherds and the Bourgelat Award for international contribution to the clinical practice of veterinary medicine. Dr. Moïse was Editor-in Chief (5 years) and Associate Editor (2 years) of the international Journal of Veterinary Cardiology. Previously, she co-edited and authored with Dr. Philip Fox and David Sisson the textbook Canine and Feline Cardiology. In 2018 the textbook Electrocardiography of the Dog and Cat was published which she co-authored with Drs. Roberto Santilli, Romain Pariaut and Manuela Perego. She also authored the book Heartbeats…Over Time (Long-term Electrocardiographic Monitoring in the Dog and Cat). She has been extensively involved in the international aspects of academic veterinary cardiology including speaking and training.
