Congenital mitral insufficiency was definitively confirmed by cardioangiography or autopsy in 4 of 10 young bull terriers presenting with suggestive clinical findings in Australia.
Observational (n=10)
ABSTRACT Ten young bull terriers with physical, electrocardiographic and radiological findings suggestive of congenital mitral insufficiency were examined between 1976 and 1987. In four of these animals a definitive diagnosis was confirmed by either cardioangiography or autopsy. Congenital mitral insufficiency would appear to be a common developmental cardiac anomaly in bull terriers in Australia.

Congenital mitral insufficiency was evaluated on Definitive diagnosis confirmed by cardioangiography or autopsy. Congenital mitral insufficiency was definitively confirmed by cardioangiography or autopsy in 4 of 10 young bull terriers presenting with suggestive clinical findings in Australia.
