Severe LV hypertrophy, dog

-Senior chihuahua -Harsh lung sounds, if murmur present, is very low grade. -Recent history of respiratory difficulties, including a bout with (presumed) bacterial pneumonia (elevated WBCs, interstitial lung pattern).  Several episodes responded to oxygen, short-acting steroids, single injection lasix when pneumonia not suspected. -Recent rad review suggests possible pulmonary hypertension
