Utility of radiographic measurements to predict echocardiographic left heart enlargement in dogs with preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease

Abstract Background Evaluation of left heart size helps determine disease severity in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Hypothesis/Objectives Determine the ability of radiographic vertebral heart size (VHS) and vertebral left atrial size (VLAS) to predict LHEECHO in dogs with preclin...
