TL;DR: Pimobendan plus conventional therapy prolongs time to sudden death, euthanasia for cardiac reasons, or treatment failure in dogs with CHF caused by MMVD compared with benazeprilplus conventional therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Pimobendan versus benazepril resulted in similar QoL during the study, but conferred increased time before intensification of CHF treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrillation in dogs with and without structural or functional cardiac disease: A retrospective study of 109 cases.
TL;DR: It is suggested that dogs with AF and no demonstrable cardiac disease have a slower presenting heart rate and greater survival than dogs with structural disease with and without heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taurine-deficient dilated cardiomyopathy in a family of golden retrievers.
TL;DR: A reversible taurine-deficient dilated cardiomyopathy occurred in five related golden retrievers and the dogs regained substantial systolic function, and four were weaned off all cardiac medications except taurines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of oscillometric and Doppler ultrasonic devices for blood pressure measurements in anesthetized and conscious dogs.
TL;DR: The oscillometric device is more reliable than the Doppler in the determination of blood pressure in healthy medium to large breed dogs and satisfied more of the criteria set by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine consensus statement.
