Echocardiographic Findings in Small-Breed Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease and the Severity of Mitral Regurgitation, Heart Size and Clinical Signs Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease in Dogs. [PDF]
Vet Med SciMyxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common acquired cardiac disorder in small‐breed dogs and is characterized by progressive mitral regurgitation that can lead to cardiac enlargement and clinical signs of heart failure. Accurate assessment of structural and hemodynamic changes using two‐dimensional, M‐mode and Doppler echocardiography is

Fatal Myocarditis Caused by Canine Parvovirus in a Litter of One-Day-Old German Shepherd Puppies: Molecular and Histopathological Findings. [PDF]
Vet Med SciCanine parvovirus infection resulted in acute fatal myocarditis in one‐day‐old German Shepherd puppies. Histopathology demonstrated lymphoplasmacytic myocarditis with intranuclear inclusion bodies, and PCR confirmed viral DNA in cardiac tissue. These findings indicate perinatal transmission and emphasise that CPV myocarditis remains a lethal threat to ...

Cardiothoracic ratio in postmortem computed tomography: reliability and threshold for the diagnosis of cardiomegaly [PDF]
, 2014 The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) in postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and to assess a CTR threshold for the diagnosis of cardiomegaly based on the weight of the heart at autopsy. PMCT data of 170

A study on computed tomography cardiothoracic ratio in predicting left ventricular systolic dysfunction [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2023 Objective A cardiothoracic ratio ≥0.50 is widely used as an indicator of cardiomegaly, but associations between the cardiothoracic ratio and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) have not been investigated previously.
