    Snippet: Left atrial (LA) function is an important determinant of left ventricular (LV) filling and plays a key role in maintaining an optimal cardiac performance. LA size is negatively associated with the prognosis of dogs with mitral valve disease (MVD). Pimobendan is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor with positive inotropic and vasodilator effects and it has been reported to decreases the LA pressure and the overall heart size in dogs with MVD. Based o.....
    Document: Left atrial (LA) function is an important determinant of left ventricular (LV) filling and plays a key role in maintaining an optimal cardiac performance. LA size is negatively associated with the prognosis of dogs with mitral valve disease (MVD). Pimobendan is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor with positive inotropic and vasodilator effects and it has been reported to decreases the LA pressure and the overall heart size in dogs with MVD. Based on the EPIC study, dogs with stage B2 MVD have been shown to benefit from administration of pimobendan. This study sought to investigate the effects of Pimobendan on LA function in dogs with stage B2 MVD.
