As part of a physical exam, cardiologists from the Cardiac Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were invited to join veterinarians from the Philadelphia Zoo in assessing the cardiac health of a 33-year-old, 207-pound female gorilla named Kivu.

This is absolutely fascinating! Thank you for recording this exam procedure and posting it on YouTube!
