Optimisation of Surgical Timing in Rheumatic Mitral Valve Disease
Rheumatic heart disease is a consequence of Group A streptococcal infections, and disproportionately affects the world’s most disadvantaged people. Whilst the disease has been essentially eradicated from nonindigenous populations in Australia, Indigenous Australians continue to have some of the …

Advanced Echocardiographic Imaging In Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease
Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) is the most common canine cardiac disease. In the studies presented in this dissertation, we used advanced echocardiographic techniques to elucidate several aspects of MMVD in dogs. Our hypothesis was that the mitral valve (MV) morphology could have a …

Accuracy of Noninvasively Determined Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease
Development of pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of poor outcome in dogs affected by myxomatous valvular degeneration (MMVD). Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure is routinely estimated by Doppler echocardiography applying the simplified Bernoulli equation to the velocity of …

The longitudinal outcome of canine myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs: The LOOK Mitral study
Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common heart disease in dogs. However, prospectively acquired data describing the natural history and prognostic factors in a large population of dogs affected by this disease are sparse. Thus, the Longitudinal Outcome of canine (K9) myxomatous …

DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE IN CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIELS: IDENTIFICATION OF EARLY DIAGNOSTIC FACTORS (MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS AND MIRNAS EXPRESSION)
Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most prevalent acquired cardiac disorder in dogs and a significant contributor to both morbidity and mortality, especially among small breeds. Notably, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (CKCS) demonstrates an early onset and more rapid progression of …

Evaluation of right ventricular function using conventional and real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography in normal dogs and dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease
… in dogs with various stages of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), classified per the guidelines of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, to those from healthy dogs. Animals: Twenty-two healthy dogs and 56 dogs with MMVD Methods: All dogs underwent conventional and 3D …

Echocardiographic Investigation of Canine Myxomatous Mitral Valvular Disease
… the echocardiographic anatomy of the canine mitral valve in healthy dogs and those affected by myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), and to compare the level of agreement between two methods of assessment of left atrial size in identification of left atrial enlargement in dogs with MMVD. …

Retrospective review of paediatric rheumatic mitral valve repairs and replacements done at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH) over a decade
Objectives: Rheumatic heart disease remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and it is the leading cause of acquired paediatric cardiac disease in the developing world. The aim of this study was to understand the burden of rheumatic heart disease and to review the surgical management …

Closed mitral valvotomy in pregnancy
Heart disease remains the most important non-obstetric cause of maternal mortality and morbidity during pregnancy, despite its low incidence of less than 1%. This is due to the decline in the number of deaths from haemorrhage, infection and toxemia. In addition, a striking change in the pattern of …

AN EXPANSION ON DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC MARKERS IN DOGS WITH ACUTE AND CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
… and dogs with naturally occurring myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and investigated the relationships between this parameter and clinical, echocardiographic and laboratory variables. Urinary aldosterone-to-creatinine ratio was not significantly different among healthy and MMVD dogs of …
