Abstract:
We retrospectively examined clinical data for 12 dogs in which echocardiography revealed the presence of left ventricular moderator bands (LMB). Physical examinations, electrocardiography and echocardiography revealed slight cardiac murmurs, increasing QRS complex and left ventricular turbulent flow (6 of the dogs), respectively. No differences were observed with respect to gender, and no specific clinical symptoms or types of dog that frequently develop this disorder were found.
