Implication

May not detect systolic dysfunction in canine mitral regurgitation; leaves open dP/dt utility pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does continuous Doppler-echocardiography estimation of dP/dt detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction in dogs with spontaneous mitral regurgitation?

Population

93 dogs of different breed and sex with chronic degenerative valvular disease and spontaneous mitral regurgitation, divided into NYHA classes I-IV.

Intervention

Continuous Doppler-echocardiography for estimation of the rate of pressure rise in the left ventricle (dP/dt) from the mitral regurgitant jet.

Outcome

Systolic function of the left ventricle estimated by the rate of pressure rise (dP/dt).surrogate

Continuous Doppler-echocardiography estimation of dP/dt showed no evidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in dogs with chronic degenerative valvular disease and mitral regurgitation.
