- 6 month old male entire British Blue that was quite wriggly for the exam
- I see a VSD with high velocity (restrictive?) and mitral regurgitation
- How would you describe this VSD?
- What is causing the mitral regurgitation, I do not see SAM, could there be mitral dysplasia?
- And will the mitral regurgitation worsen his prognosis with volume overload from the VSD?

Nice image set. I believe
Nice image set. I believe this to be a membranous VSD left to right shunt and concurrent MR likely a form of minor mv dysplasia. I dont think the MR will be a big player here as it looks mild and all is currently compensated. I would neuter him now while all is compensated and so he doesnt pass on his genes and recheck the echo at a full year of age.
I completeley agree with Eric
I completeley agree with Eric – there’s nothing to add. Likely a sub-cristal form of VSD.
