“…1,2 Echocardiography is the least invasive method of diagnosing aortic stenosis, but confirmation of mild or equivocal disease remains problematic because of the high incidence of cardiac murmurs and intrinsically higher aortic velocities documented in Boxers. [9][10][11] Prior echocardiographic studies have focused on the LV outflow tract of the Boxer and have confirmed a smaller LV outflow tract area and aortic size contributing to the higher aortic velocities and murmurs noted in the breed. 10 Previous studies have documented significant variability in echocardiographic measurements in dogs of different somatotypes 12 and have demonstrated the limitations of linear regression models in predicting echocardiographic measurements even among dogs of the same breed.…”

“…14 The practice of auscultation after physical exercise increases the rate of detection of pathological murmurs and nonpathological murmurs. 14 Therefore, it may be considered when the veterinarian and the client understand that the emergence of a new murmur at a higher heart rate is not a conclusive finding, but justification for additional diagnostic testing.…”

“…Second, there is no widely accepted consensus on what should be accepted as the upper limit of Doppler-derived LVOT Vmax in the evaluation of dogs for SAS. Acceptance of breed-specific limits 7,24,33,39 is probably necessary and, even so, likely incomplete. We set the LVOT Vmax at 2.3 m/s as recommended by the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology.…”
