Case Study

15-00070 Skeeter K Slight DMVD, mild MI—NEEDS C—-NO IMAGES—-

A 10-year-old SF Golden retriever was presented for screening for doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.

A 10-year-old SF Golden retriever was presented for screening for doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.

Sonographic Differential Diagnosis

Slight degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD), mild mitral insufficiency, no sign of dilated (drug induced) cardiomyopathy. I would repeat the scan before the next Doxorubicin infusion.

Image Interpretation

On these clips and images I can see a normal (not volume ore pressure overloaded) left and right ventricle, normal atria and a mildly thickened mitral valve, the anterior leaflet slightly prolapsing into the left atrium. There is some slight mitral insufficiency present. Flows across the RVOT and LVOT seem to be normal in terms of velocity and without any turbulence.

Comments

Is it relevant what the Doxyrubicin treating?

Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Drug-induced dilated cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy exacerbated by doxorubicin

Sampling

None
