Treatment of Preclinical Mitral Valve Disease in Your Practice

VetFolio Voice

Degenerative or myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a common canine cardiac disease. In this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast, we discuss the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in order to slow the progression of this disease. Listen in as we chat about MMVD, from diagnosis through the preclinical stages of the disease. We review diagnostics that can be helpful in assessing this disease, such as thoracic radiographs and echocardiography, and what information can be obtained from each. We’ll also explore how the treatment plan may change once the patient is symptomatic. Want to earn CE from this episode?
