Cardiology – Case report: mitral valve disease in a large breed dog
Summary
This case describes a particular form of mitral regurgitation in a 13 year old large breed dog. This form of valvular insufficiency in large breed dogs is quite different from those described in small breed dogs. Clinical, radiographic and echocardiograpic findings and possible treatments of this particular form are presented and discussed.
