Spontaneous Reduction in Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Three Dogs With Severe Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease: An Unusual Case Report. [PDF]
In dogs with MMVD, severe valvular degeneration with chordae tendineae rupture is generally associated with a poor prognosis despite medical management. These three cases demonstrate spontaneous reduction in mitral regurgitation accompanied by decreased coaptation gap, reduced regurgitant volume, reverse cardiac remodelling, discontinuation of ...
