Abstract
A dog with immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and a new heart murmur had an echocardiogram in 2016 and was found to have a suspected aorto-left atrial fistula. The echocardiogram findings remained relatively static from 2016 to 2022. This report highlights the use of cardiac-gated computed tomography angiography to allow further understanding of a complex anomaly in a patient with a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm causing a fistulous connection with the left atrium.
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.
