Canine heart disease
Disease overview
Heart disease affects approximately 10% of all dogs. The majority of cases are acquired, degenerative diseases of the heart valve or the heart muscle. Heart murmurs are often early signs of cardiac disease and so it is important to detect them early and grade them accurately for the best outcomes.
Challenges with heart murmur detection
Many murmurs are subtle and occur at frequencies below the human hearing threshold.1These can be missed during routine check-ups, especially in busy clinics or with restless patients.
