Tricuspid Dysplasia – 29/01/18


  • Follow on from post earlier this year, thought it might be of interest
  • Dog was taken off pimobendan and sildenafil and maintained on diltiazem because of previous intermittent tachycardia
  • Severe disease progression with severely enlarged RA with smoke
  • I have never seen a RA this big so thought I would post
  • Arrhythmia present – runs of sinus rhythm then SVT on trace ECG, agreed?
  • Do you think there is also MVD?

    • (Aside…this dog also had a mild cranial mediastinal LN enlargement, multiple abdominal rounded LN enlargement, mild pleural and abdominal effusion but no HV distension, suspect lymphoma)

  1. Just looking at video 3

    Just looking at video 3 again, could this be a double chambered right ventricle?
