Abstract
An 8 years old male Anatolian shepherd dog (ASH) was referred to the Small Animal Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Selçuk University with a history of cardiac murmur. The diagnosis was asymptomatic degenerative mitral valve disease. The severity of regurgitation was quantified by the maximal ratio of the regurgitant jet area signal by color Doppler to Left atriun area (ARJ/LAA), the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) and the subtraction methods by Doppler examinations. The each quantification methods was valuable to assess the severity of disease in ASH with MR.
Özet
Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Küçük Hayvan Hastahanesine kardiyak üfürüm şikayetiyle getirilen 8 yaşlı bir Kangal köpeğinde dejeneratif mitral kapak hastalığı teşhis edildi. Regürgitasyon şiddeti renkli akım Dopler muayeneyle sol atriyumdaki maksimum regürgitant jet alan oranı (ARJ/ LAA), Doppler muayenelerle proksimal isovelosite yüzey alanı (PISA) ve çıkarma metodlarıyla kantite edildi. Her üç kantitatif metod da mitral yetmezlik olan Kangal köpeğinde hastalığın değerlendirilmesinde önemli bulundu
