Caractéristiques épidémiologiques, cliniques, écho-doppler de l'endocardiose mitrale chez le Cavalier King Charles en France: étude retrospective de 451 cas (1995 à 2003).

Abstract

A study performed on 451 Cavalier King Charles showed that 40.6% of dogs had a left apical systolic heart murmur, whose prevalence increased with age (> 11-year-old, 100%), but was not different between males and females. Mitral valve endocardiosis represented 93.3% of the ultrasonographic abnormalities.
