Sildenafil improves heart rate variability in dogs with asymptomatic myxomatous mitral valve degeneration
Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) causes an imbalance of sympathovagal activity resulted in poor cardiac outcomes. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors have been revealed cardioprotective effect in patients with heart diseases. This study aimed to 1) compare the heart rate variability (HRV) between asymptomatic MMVD and healthy dogs and 2) assess long-term effects of sildenafil and enalapri...
متن کاملLong-term effect of sildenafil on echocardiographic parameters in dogs with asymptomatic myxomatous mitral valve degeneration
Sildenafil is a selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor that has been demonstrated to delay ventricular remodeling in humans and experimental animals. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the chronic effects of sildenafil administration on echocardiographic indices and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in dogs with naturally occurring, asymptomatic myxomatous mitr...
متن کاملCoexistence of Cor triatriatum sinistrum and a prominent Eustachian valve mimicking a Cor triatriatum dextrum
Cor triatriatum is among the rarest of all congenital cardiac abnormalities accounting for 0.1-0.4% of all congenital heart disease. Its coexistence with a very prominent Eustachian valve which mimics a Cor triatriatum dextrum is an exceptionally rare finding in an asymptomatic adult. We report the case of a 44 year old male who presented to our department on observing a pulse rate of 44 beats ...
متن کاملHistological impairment of the mitral valve in an adult patient affected by cor triatriatum sinistrum
In the case of cor triatriatum, as in other congenital abnormalities, especially if discovered in adult age, concomitant pathology of the cardiac valves should be carefully investigated. This demands an adequate pre-operative study, today possible with the modern imaging techniques. Here, we report a 19-year-old woman operated for a cor tiatriatum sinister; the typical fenestrated diaphragm was...
متن کاملAsymptomatic cor triatriatum incidentally revealed by computed tomography.
We report a case of asymptomatic cor triatriatum in a 75-year-old man in whom the anomaly was incidentally revealed by computed tomography (CT). To our knowledge, this patient is the oldest case reported and the only such case in which the anomaly was demonstrated by CT.
