Myocardial deletion of Smad4 using a novel alpha skeletal muscle actin Cre recombinase transgenic mouse causes misalignment of the cardiac outflow tract [PDF]
S MAD4 acts as the converging point f or T GF β and BMP signaling in heart development. Here, we investigated the role of S MAD4 in heart development usi ng a novel α skeletal muscle actin Cre recombinase (MuCre) transgenic mouse strain.

Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Dissecting into Interventricular Septum Compressing RVOT [PDF]
Aneurysm of sinus of valsalva is a rare disorder. Rupture of sinus of valsalva into the right atria, right ventricle and the left ventricle is more commonly seen.

Echocardiographic evaluation of velocity ratio, velocity time integral ratio, and pulmonary valve area in dogs with pulmonary valve stenosis. [PDF]
BackgroundVelocity ratio, velocity time integral (VTI) ratio, and pulmonary valve area indexed to body surface area (iPVA) are methods of assessment of pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) severity that are less dependent on blood flow. Studies evaluating these

Catheter ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia using contact force guidance [PDF]
Outflow tract tachycardias (OTT) originating from the right or left ventricular outflow tract are thought to be benign. However, symptoms can be disabling and deterioration of left ventricular function may occur with a high arrhythmia burden.

Systolic ejection murmurs and the left ventricular outflow tract in boxer dogs [PDF]
Turbulence of various genesis in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) causes systolic ejection murmurs. The prevalence of murmurs in adult boxer dogs is 50-80%, the majority of which are of low intensity.

Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Spontaneous Large Animal Model of Human HCM. [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common disease in pet cats, affecting 10-15% of the pet cat population. The similarity to human HCM, the rapid progression of disease, and the defined and readily determined endpoints of feline HCM make it an ...
