Bull Terrier Heart disease

Hello

This is Spot who presented in respiratory distress. Had pleural effusion and an abdominal US showed no abnormalities; no distention of the hepatic veins.

The echo showed what I believe is DCM and the measurement and M-mode support that, but the Right heart looks abnormal to me and there is a marked regurgitant jet at the tricuspid valve. The Rt atrium looks enlarged and the Rt ventricular walls look more muscular than the Lt walls.

I was wondering if I could get an opinon on these images as to whether these look like DCM or whether we should be considering other heart disease. (Heartworm test was negative). Thanks. Brent
