Cardiac anomaly?


-10 years old golden retriever, with splenic neoplasia, severe anaemia ( hct 24)

-preoperative us show normal cardiac function-just tachycardia ( i think because of the anaemia)

-i noticed in B mode a hiatus between the aortic semilunar and the tricuspid valve-I could not define a yet with doppler.

-do You think there is a real left-right shunt?

-does it have any effect to the operation or to the chemotherapy after?

 

Thank You!

  1. It looks like a membranous

    It looks like a membranous vsd or a fibrous band from late closure.. You are in good posiiton there just drop CF doppler over it and lcinically there should be a solid murmur mainly right side heart base. if no murmur then its likely a closed VSD  and regardless not clinical.
