Hi all,
Just wanted to make sure I got the right diagnosis for this little one as SAS occurs commonly in large breed dogs.
3 year old, 2.5kg toy poodle which owner recently adopted from a friend. No clinical symptoms. A grade 4/6 heart murmur was auscultated during a routine check up.

Echocardiogram showed severe LV hypertrophy and increase aortic velocity of at least 5m/s. I can also see the fibrous nodule at the level of the subvulvular region. LA/AO ratio is normal. Pulmonary outflow was normal. Mild mitral regurgitation. No tricuspid regurgitation. Aortic insufficiency is also present.
