AF = atrial fibrillation; CHF = congestive heart failure; MMMVD = myxomatous mitral valve degeneration; LA = left atrium; Ao = aorta; FS = fractional shortening; LVESD = left ventricular end‐systolic diameter; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; BW = body weight; M = male; F = female; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; Crea = creatinine; Na = sodium; K = potassium. Median (range) or proportion is reported.
