Why the study?

Does the planimetric method provide better assessment of left ventricular systolic function and prognostic value than the geometric method in dogs with mitral valve disease?

Population

107 dogs total: 6 healthy dogs and 101 small breed dogs

Comparison

Planimetric methods for measuring end-systolic… vs Geometric method for measuring ESVI

Design

Preclinical

Follow-up

5 months

Implication

Planimetric ESVI may aid short-term prognosis in advanced canine MVD; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does the planimetric method provide better assessment of left ventricular systolic function and prognostic value than the geometric method in dogs with mitral valve disease?

Population

107 dogs total: 6 healthy dogs (Study 1) and 101 small breed dogs (77 with mitral valve disease, 24 healthy controls) (Study 2)

Intervention

Planimetric methods (Simpson's derived and length area methods) for measuring end-systolic volume index (ESVI)

Comparator

Geometric method (based on Teichholz formula) for measuring ESVI

Outcome

Measurement of ESVI, correlation with disease severity (ISACHC class), and prognostic value for cardiac events at 5 monthssurrogate

Planimetric methods are preferred over geometric methods for assessing left ventricular systolic function and prognosis in dogs with advanced mitral valve disease.
