Question n°1
For a dog with chronic degenerative mitral valve disease, which is the best view for seeing the thickened mitral valve disease itself?
Question n°2
Which view is best for determining the left atrial:aortic ratio?
Question n°3
Which of the following left atrial:aortic ratios would be considered increased?
-
CORRECT - the left atrial:aortic ratio should be less than 1.5
Question n°4
For a dog with mitral valve disease and concurrent tricuspid insufficiency, if a high velocity jet (3.2m/s) is found at the level of the tricuspid valve, what condition does this suggest?
-
CORRECT - normal velocity at the tricuspid valve is less than 2.8m/s so a jet of 3.2m/s is suggestive of pulmonary hypertension
Question n°5
Which of the following fractional shortening values would be consistent with Dilated Cardiomyopathy?
-
CORRECT - normal fractional shortening should be between 24-40% so a figure as low as 14% is suggestive of DCM
