Abstract
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has been defined as a structural abnormality with separation between the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve and the left atrial wall. It is commonly associated with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), mitral valve prolapse (MVP), ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death in humans, but has not been described in veterinary medicine despite the high prevalence of MMVD in the canine population. The echocardiographic findings in a Chihuahua with MAD, MMVD, and MVP are described. Diagnostic methods and criteria are reviewed and adapted.
期刊介绍：
The mission of the Journal of Veterinary Cardiology is to publish peer-reviewed reports of the highest quality that promote greater understanding of cardiovascular disease, and enhance the health and well being of animals and humans. The Journal of Veterinary Cardiology publishes original contributions involving research and clinical practice that include prospective and retrospective studies, clinical trials, epidemiology, observational studies, and advances in applied and basic research.
The Journal invites submission of original manuscripts. Specific content areas of interest include heart failure, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, cardiovascular medicine, surgery, hypertension, health outcomes research, diagnostic imaging, interventional techniques, genetics, molecular cardiology, and cardiovascular pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology.
