COMPARATIVE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATIONS IN DOGS WITHMYXOMATOUS DEGENERATION OF THE MITRAL VALVE DEPENDINGON THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF PULMONARY EDEMA

Journal Title: TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN VETERINARY MEDICINE - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

In the article echocardiographic studies of 12 dogs with myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valvewere compared. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of pulmonaryedema. The echocardiographic measurements were indexed to Ao – size. We received significant difference(p = 0.0077) only for LA / Ao, but this ratio can not be a predicator for the development of heart failure.
